Watching an English movie with russian subs. Keeps using "U" as a russian letter. Never seen this before. What is it?
Also what is the backwards "s"?

It is "и". Used in handwriting.
And the backwards S?Quote:

Don't understand why и is written as U. Makes no sense -.-
Russian handwriting differs from type letters. Probably the system developed so that to make it write faster.
It is written so as not to confuse it with the handwritten "п" or "н" (for me it makes perfect sence - you only have to practise writing in Russian to understand it).Quote:

i was going to say that it is the font, but it could be italic. but ye it is not easy to read even for me. i’ve no idea, but todays you can get subtitled movies and all sort of fonts. it’s not all that unusual. i mean it is only the font, the letters are still the same.
Compare with Latin letters. They also change their shape in italic fonts:Quote:

A bit more off-topic and a bit less seen example: мщу и лицу look the same too.
