Signals generated in gaseous detectors such as GEM-based detectors are often read out by strips providing one or two coordinates of a track. Such a strip-based readout (R/O) often suffers from ambiguities. For particle tracks, these are usually removed by pattern recognition. For the detection of photons, e.g. in a RICH detector, however, they have to be removed in a single detector. Solutions for this problem on the detector level are additional information about the signal amplitude, or a pixelated readout. The latter, however, results in a huge increase in the number of electronic channels and the material budget. Therefore, the XYU-R/O was proposed as a three-coordinate strip-readout. The fact that no vias are needed inside the active area is a novelty of the design and important for a reliable and simple production. The talk will cover results from X-ray measurements and will be complemented by test beam data from October 2022.
