ꝏ is the Latin small letter OO (U+A74F) from the Latin Extended block.
U+A74F

Latin Small Letter Oo Letter Meaning
ꝏ is the Unicode character named LATIN SMALL LETTER OO (U+A74F). It represents a specific typographic “oo” letter shape used in Latin-script writing where a distinct ligature-like or historical-looking form is preferred. In practice, this character is most relevant for typography, transcriptions, and documents that require fidelity to a particular printed style. Because it is a single character in Unicode (not the letters “o” + “o”), searching, copying, and font rendering can differ from regular “oo”. When you need consistent appearance across platforms, it’s best to test with the fonts you plan to use.
Common uses
- •Copy/paste the exact “oo” letter form in transcriptions or historical text mockups
- •Typography and layout work that requires a single-character “oo” glyph
- •Database or content entry where a distinct Unicode character must be preserved
- •Web content where you want the correct glyph using HTML/CSS/JavaScript escapes
- •Designing covers, posters, or branding where typographic accuracy matters
