Latin Small Letter O With Diaeresis And Macron Letter Meaning
ȫ (U+022B) is “LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS AND MACRON.” It’s an o (lowercase) that carries two diacritic marks: a diaeresis (two dots) and a macron (horizontal line). In written languages that use these diacritics, the combined marks can indicate a specific vowel quality or pronunciation distinction. Because it’s a single, dedicated Unicode character (not a plain “o” plus separate marks), using the exact symbol helps ensure consistent rendering, search behavior, and interoperability across platforms and fonts that support Latin Extended characters.
Common uses
- •Typing or entering words that require this exact diacritic combination
- •Correctly displaying proper names and place names in documents and forms
- •Writing or publishing multilingual content that distinguishes vowel qualities
- •Digital typography and layout work where diacritics must match exactly
- •Using Unicode-safe text in apps, websites, and data fields to avoid character substitution
