U+014F "ŏ" Latin Small Letter O with Breve is a lowercase vowel letter used in several Latin-based alphabets, where the breve diacritic above the letter indicates a short pronunciation of the o sound. It appears in the orthographies of languages such as Romanian, where it is used in the word "România" alongside the Romanian s with comma, and in some transliteration systems for Slavic or other languages to represent a short o. This character is visually distinct from a standard lowercase o due to the curved breve mark, which resembles a small, shallow arc placed over the letter. Its uppercase counterpart is U+014E, the Latin Capital Letter O with Breve, ensuring proper casing in typography and digital text.
