Ǫ

Also known as O with ogonek

O with an ogonek (majuscule: Ǫ, minuscule: ǫ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet formed by the addition of the ogonek (from Polish: little tail) to the letter O. It is used in Western Apache, Mescalero-Chiricahua, Muscogee, Dadibi, Gwichʼin, Erie, and Navajo. It is also used in the Latin transcription of Old Church Slavonic, and the Proto-Slavic language, as well as in the Slavistic Phonetic Alphabet. It is also still in use for the writing of Old Norse, and used to be used sporadically in Polish.
