This seems indeed the best way to go (IMOVVHO), *if* the said squiggle is indeed an "u". If not, as I suspect, but rather an all-purpose mark to differentiate similar letters (like the already mentioned German use of a U+016D-looking glyph for handwritten lowercase "u", otherwise identical to "n" -- note also that the orginal post mentioned that the abbreviation "bg" is added this mark when meaning "-burg", while "bg" alone means "-berg"), then the solution should be different, possibly using some kind of breve (double, single, combining, zero-width, what not). -- ____.
