Ȫ is a Latin capital letter O with diaeresis and macron used in certain extended orthographies.
U+022A
Ȫ (U+022A) is a Latin Extended uppercase character. It combines O with two diacritic marks: diaeresis and macron. Use it when you need the exact letter form found in specific languages, names, or transliterations.
Latin Capital Letter O With Diaeresis And Macron Letter Meaning
Ȫ is the uppercase form of a Latin “O” carrying both a diaeresis (two dots) and a macron (a horizontal bar). In writing systems that use multiple diacritics, these marks can indicate specific vowel qualities, such as distinguishing sounds that are not written with plain “O.” Because this is a named Unicode character, its main “meaning” is that it represents a precise letter variant rather than a general symbol. When you need the exact character for documents, typography, or digital text (e.g., proper names, academic text, or localization), it’s important to use the correct Unicode code point, U+022A.
Common uses
- •Typing uppercase text in languages or orthographies that require O with both diaeresis and macron
- •Correctly rendering names and terms in academic writing and published documents
- •Preparing multilingual content for localization and translation where exact diacritics matter
- •Web design and UI typography when matching a specific font’s supported character set
- •Data entry and text processing that must preserve exact Unicode characters
