Ɯ (minuscule: ɯ; also File:Latin capital letter Sha.svg, minuscule ɯ) is a letter that was used in the Zhuang alphabet from 1957 to 1986 to represent a close back unrounded vowel {{IPA|/ɯ/}}. At some time in or before 1986, it was replaced with W. It was also used in Semyon Novgorodov's Yakut alphabet.

In the International Phonetic Alphabet, it is used to represent the same vowel.

In some fonts, it is homoglyphic with the Cyrillic letter Sha, and in this manner it was used in the Tsakhur language,{{Cite web |title=Proposal to encode Latin letters used in the Former Soviet Union |first1=Nurlan |last1=Joomagueldinov |first2=Karl |last2=Pentzlin |first3=Ilya |last3=Yevlampiev |type=Working Group Document |series=Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set |publisher=International Organization for Standardization |date=October 18, 2011 |url=http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2011/11360-soviet-latin.pdf |access-date=April 28, 2023}} representing the pharyngealized close central unrounded vowel {{IPA|/ɨˤ/}}.
