U+0104 "Ą" Latin Capital Letter A with Ogonek Unicode Character

U+0104 "Ą" Latin Capital Letter A with Ogonek is a letter used primarily in the Polish alphabet, where it represents a nasalized "o" sound, as well as in other languages such as Lithuanian and Old Church Slavonic, where it denotes a nasal vowel. It is formed by adding a small hook called an ogonek to the bottom of the standard Latin capital A, which indicates a historical or phonological nasalization of the vowel. This character is part of the Latin Extended-A block in Unicode, encoding a glyph that distinguishes itself from the plain capital A through its distinctive tail, and it is commonly encountered in text that requires accurate representation of certain Central and Eastern European languages.
