U+0222 "Ȣ" Latin Capital Letter Ou Unicode Character

U+0222 "Ȣ" Latin Capital Letter Ou is a ligature historically used in medieval and early modern Latin scripts to represent the Greek diphthong "ου" (omicron upsilon) and is derived from the combination of the letters O and U or a superscript V form. It is archaically employed in certain orthographies for Latin, Old Norse, and occasionally in later Irish or Romanian contexts, though it is now largely obsolete and primarily of interest to palaeographers, typographers, and scholars of historical writing systems. The character is encoded in the Latin Extended-B block of Unicode, preserving its use for specialized textual reproduction and digital representation of centuries-old manuscripts.
