Unicode Version 17.0
ꭣ
U+AB63 "ꭣ" Latin Small Letter Uo is a typographic ligature that represents the combination of the letters 'u' and 'o' into a single glyph, primarily used in certain phonetic or orthographic contexts to denote a unique vowel sound or diphthong. This character belongs to the Latin Extended-E block and is designed to accommodate specialized transcriptions where a unified symbol for the 'uo' sequence is preferable to separate letters, such as in some Uralic or other minority language writing systems. It serves to streamline notation and preserve the distinct phonetic value of the combined sounds without confusion with other ligatures or digraphs.
