U+04E8 "Ө" Cyrillic Capital Letter Barred O Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

Ө

U+04E8 "Ө" Cyrillic Capital Letter Barred O is a distinct letter in the Cyrillic script, primarily used in the alphabets of languages such as Kazakh, Bashkir, Mongolian, and Tatar. It represents a close-mid front rounded vowel sound, similar to the "ö" in German or the "eu" in French, and is visually characterized by a horizontal line or bar through the center of the letter O. This character was added to the Unicode standard to support the written representation of these languages, allowing for accurate digital text processing and display. Its uppercase form is complemented by the lowercase version, U+04E9 "ө", which follows the same barred design.
