Devanagari Letter Short O Letter Meaning
ऒ (Unicode U+0912) is the Devanagari letter called “short O” (Devangari (Hindi)). In writing systems that use Devanagari, this letter represents a short “o” vowel. You’ll most often encounter it in properly spelled text where the vowel length matters, especially in words and forms that distinguish short “o” from other vowel variants. For digital use, it’s important to use the exact character rather than visually similar Latin letters or other vowel forms, so search, rendering, and typography work as expected across fonts and platforms.
