It is used in several languages, including Romanian, where it appears in older orthographies and certain transcription systems, as well as in the transliteration of Slavic languages like Belarusian or Bulgarian to represent the Cyrillic letter 'O' with a breve. In the International Phonetic Alphabet, this character is not standard, but it can appear in linguistic notation to denote a specific short o sound. Its lowercase counterpart is U+014F "ŏ".
