U+0F7C "ོ" Tibetan Vowel Sign O Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ོ
U+0F7C "ོ" Tibetan Vowel Sign O is a combining diacritical mark used in the Tibetan script to represent the vowel sound "o". It appears above a consonant letter to modify its inherent vowel, transforming the default "a" sound to an "o" sound, and is distinct from the separate vowel letter for "o" used at the beginning of syllables. This sign is integral to the orthography of Tibetan and related languages such as Dzongkha, where precise vowel marking is essential for correct pronunciation and meaning.
