Ɵ
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barred O (majuscule: Ɵ, minuscule: ɵ) was a letter used in Janalif and other alphabets. formed the Uniform Turkic Alphabet, for example, Azerbaijani alphabet in 1929, when the languages shifted from Arabic script into Latin script. It represented the open-mid front rounded vowel [œ].
In many alphabets it was replaced by the Cyrillic letter Ө ө in 1939 and was again replaced by the Latin letter Ö ö in 1991 in Azerbaijani.
This letter is also part of the African reference alphabet.
The minuscule form [ɵ] is also used in the International Phonetic Alphabet for the close-mid central rounded vowel.
It has no relation to the slashed zero, letter Ø ø, the similar Latin letter Ꝋꝋ, the Cyrillic letters Ѳ or Ө; or the Greek letter Θ θ, despite their similar shapes.
