Swedish: "Ü" only used in German loan words.
German: "Ü" pronunciated as a Swedish "y."
Dutch: "Ü" pronunciated completely different.
In Swedish we sort the German "ü" as "y," and the Dutch "ü" as "u."

The only Swedish word containing "ü" that I can think of, is "müsli," which
is a German loan word. The "ü" is sorted as "y" in all dictionnaries. The
"ü" is also pronunciated as "y."
