Ŭ
In modern Esperanto, use of the letter Ŭ as a standalone consonant has fallen out of favour.
It used to be common to use it for loanwords and foreign names like Ŭaŝingtono (for "Washington"), but the modern preference is Vaŝingtono.
The only modern use for Ŭ is in diphthongs.

Watt
n
Unu ŭato egalas al unu ĵulo en sekundo. One Watt equals one Joule per second. One Watt is equal to one Joule in a second.
