Ou (letter)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ȣ ligature of the Greek letters ο and υ was frequently used in Byzantine manuscripts.
The ligature is now also used in the context of the Latin alphabet, interpreted as a ligature of Latin o and u, for example in the orthography of the Wyandot language[citation needed] and of Algonquian languages.
The same ligature was also used in the context of the Cyrillic alphabet, see Uk (Cyrillic).
[edit] Computer encoding
In Unicode it is in the Latin Extended-B range at code points U+0222 (uppercase) and U+0223 (lowercase). In older character encodings (such as ISO 8859) and locales where Unicode is not available, it is usually represented by an italic 8 glyph[citation needed].
