I'm aware of a bar through a z , to distinguish z from 2 and a slash

Below suggests something else going on with 'u'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region...ting_variation

"The lowercase letters u and v €” These letters have a common origin and
were once written according to the location in the word rather than the
sound. The v came first; the u originally had a loop extending to the
left and was only used to start words. All other locations for either u
or v were written with the latter. In Germany (especially southern
Germany), Austria and Switzerland, lowercase u is often written with a
horizontal stroke or swish over it (Å«, Å©), to distinguish it from n."


I first took it to mean someone was empahasing the character was an
underscore in an email address , not a hyphen, but that was not the case.
So next attempt in the bouncing em train, will be a v in that position
