U+01ED "ǭ" Latin Small Letter O with Ogonek and Macron Unicode Character
U+01ED "ǭ" Latin Small Letter O with Ogonek and Macron is a precomposed Latin letter used primarily in the transcription of certain Indigenous languages of North America, such as those in the Algonquian family, to represent a long nasalized o sound. The ogonek, a hook attached to the bottom right of the letter, indicates nasalization, while the macron, a horizontal line placed above the letter, marks the vowel as long. This combined diacritical system allows for precise phonetic representation in linguistic orthographies where tone or vowel length is phonemic. The character is the lowercase form of U+01EC "Ǭ" and is encoded in the Latin Extended-B block, making it accessible for modern digital text processing and scholarly transcription work.
