U+01EB "ǫ" Latin Small Letter O with Ogonek Unicode Character

U+01EB "ǫ" Latin Small Letter O with Ogonek is a glyph used primarily in the orthographies of several Indigenous languages of the Americas, such as Navajo and Ojibwe, as well as in certain Slavic languages like Polish and Lithuanian for historical or phonetic transcription. The ogonek, a small hook attached to the bottom right of the letter, indicates a nasalized pronunciation of the vowel, as in the Navajo word shǫǫda, meaning "it is not." Its uppercase counterpart is U+01EA "Ǫ". This character is distinct from other similar letters like "o" with a cedilla or comma, and it is often employed in linguistic and academic texts to accurately represent specific phonetic sounds. When typed, it can be accessed through Unicode input methods or specialized keyboard layouts.
