is one of the six Taiwanese Hokkien vowels as written in the Peh-oe-ji (POJ) orthography. It is a normal o followed by Unicode {{unichar|0358|COMBINING DOT ABOVE RIGHT}}, and is not to be confused with the Vietnamese Ơ. It is pronounced {{IPAblink|ɔ}}.

This letter is not well-supported by fonts and is often typed as either (using the interpunct), o• (using the bullet), oo, or ou.

Because Taiwanese is a tonal language the standard letter without a diacritic represents the vowel in the first tone, the other four possible tone categories require one of the following tonal symbols to be written above it.

  • Ó͘ ó͘ (second tone)
  • Ò͘ ò͘ (third tone)
  • Ô͘ ô͘ (fifth tone)
  • Ǒ͘ ǒ͘ (sixth tone)
  • Ō͘ ō͘ (seventh tone)

History

The character was introduced by the Xiamen-based missionary Elihu Doty in the mid-nineteenth century, as a way to distinguish the Minnan vowels {{IPA|/o/}} and {{IPA|/ɔ/}} (the latter becoming {{angle bracket|o͘}}).[1] Since then it has become established in the Peh-oe-ji orthography, with only occasional deviations early in its usage – one example being Carstairs Douglas's 1873 dictionary, where he replaced the {{angle bracket|o͘}} with an o with a curl (similar to that of the English Phonotypic Alphabet),[2] and a second example being Tan Siew Imm's 2016 dictionary of Penang Hokkien, where she replaced the {{angle bracket|o͘}} with {{angle bracket|ɵ}}.[3]
