Unicode Version 17.0
Ⲱ
U+2CB0 "Ⲱ" Coptic Capital Letter Oou is a grapheme from the Coptic script, historically used to write the Egyptian language, particularly in its later Christian liturgical form. This letter represents a vowel sound typically resembling a long "o" or "u" in English, and its shape, an open omicron with a vertical stroke, distinguishes it from similar Greek-derived characters. In modern usage, it appears primarily in academic texts, biblical manuscripts, and liturgical materials, preserving the phonetic and orthographic traditions of Coptic as a living or scholarly language.
