U+1049D "𐒝" Osmanya Letter Oo is a character from the Osmanya script, which was created in the early 20th century by Osman Yusuf Kenadid to write the Somali language. This specific letter represents the long vowel sound "Oo" and is part of a larger alphabet that was designed to replace the Arabic script for Somali, though its use has been limited in modern times. The Osmanya script is encoded in the Unicode block from U+10480 to U+104AF, and the letter Oo is the twenty third character in the alphabet, contributing to the representation of Somali phonetics in digital text.
