How Can We Help?
O with macron (О̄ о̄; italics: О̄ о̄) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. In all its forms it looks exactly like the Latin letter O with macron (Ō ō Ō ō).
O with macron are used in the Evenki, Mansi, Nanai, Negidal, Orok, Ulch, Kildin Sami, Selkup, and Chechen languages.
O with macron also appears in the Rusyn language in Ukraine, representing a close allophone of /o/. However, this letter primarily features in materials for beginning readers; the same sound is otherwise represented with the Cyrillic letter O.[1][2][3]
Computing codes
Being a relatively recent letter, not present in any legacy 8-bit Cyrillic encoding, the letter Ō is not represented directly by a precomposed character in Unicode either; it has to be composed as О+◌̄ (U+0304).
