how do you pronounce buy?
is the letter u pronouncable or unpronouncable?
i think "u" is [ʌ] ,and "y" is [i] .they compose [ai] together.
is it right?many people think that the letter u is unpronouncable，but i don't think so。i think that double vowel is made of two single vowels。 is it right？

as to question whether "u" is pronounced or not in the word 'buy', yes it is - but not actually sounding 'u' (i.e. you). "u", just like its fellow vowels, can be uttered in differnt ways depending on the word its being used with.
'buy' = "u" (a)
'quit' = "u" (u) (pronounced as 'ooh')
to some extent, "u" isn't pronounced with these sample words:
Silent U
"guest"
"circuit"
"biscuit"
"build"
"guitar"
