U+04EB "ӫ" Cyrillic Small Letter Barred O with Diaeresis Unicode Character

U+04EB "ӫ" Cyrillic Small Letter Barred O with Diaeresis is a specialized glyph used primarily in the Khanty and Nenets languages of Siberia, where it represents a distinct vowel sound, typically a close-mid or near-close central rounded vowel. This character is formed by combining the Cyrillic "barred o" (which resembles an o with a horizontal stroke through its center) with a diaeresis, or two dots, placed above it, indicating a more fronted or central articulation compared to the plain barred o. Its uppercase counterpart is U+04EA "Ӫ", and it belongs to the Cyrillic Extended-A block in Unicode, highlighting its role in accurately transcribing the phonetic nuances of minor Uralic languages.
