Kubutz or qubbutz (modern Hebrew: קֻבּוּץ; IPA: [kuˈbuts], formerly קִבּוּץ, qibbūṣ) and shuruk (Hebrew: שׁוּרוּק, IPA: [ʃuˈʁuk], also known as shuruq) are two Hebrew niqqud vowel signs that represent the sound [u]. In an alternative, Ashkenazi naming, the kubutz (three diagonal dots) is called "shuruk" and shuruk is called "melopum" (מלאפום).
