I'm proofreading a script for a visual novel, and came across a little issue. If you want to emulate an elongated "oo" exclamation in human speech, what kind of spelling would you use? I've come across two ways of spelling it: "Ouu" or "Ooh".

For reference, this is the sound that I'm looking for:

I'm not finding it easy to search on recommended spelling for these exclamations, so any help would be great!

Ooh is pretty standard in British and Commonwealth English if that is any help.

@contrex,
Oh is fairly common in the US.
