U+0ACB "ો" Gujarati Vowel Sign O is a combining diacritical mark used in the Gujarati script to represent the vowel sound "o," specifically the long or mid-close back rounded vowel, as in the English word "go." It is visually composed of a curved horizontal stroke above the consonant, often paired with a vertical tail on the right, and it attaches to the top of a consonant character, modifying its inherent vowel sound.
