U+0328 "̨" Combining Ogonek Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

̨

U+0328 "̨" Combining Ogonek is a diacritical mark used primarily in the orthographies of several European languages, including Polish, Lithuanian, and various Indigenous American languages, where it is attached to a base letter, most commonly a vowel, to indicate a specific phonetic quality such as nasalization or a shifted pronunciation. When placed beneath a letter, as in the Polish ą or ę, it signals that the vowel is pronounced with a nasal twang, while in Lithuanian, it marks a long or historically lengthened vowel. The ogonek resembles a small, hook-like tail descending from the bottom of the character, and as a combining mark, it is designed to be placed directly after the base character in digital text, automatically positioning itself below the letter to create a unified glyph.
