  • Transcribes Chakhar /ɔ/; Khalkha /ɔ/, /ə/, and /∅/. Transliterated into Cyrillic with the letter о.
  • Indistinguishable from u, except where o can be inferred from its context:
    • o is found in medial or final syllables if it's also found syllable-initially (and occasionally after a syllable-initial i).
  • ‍ᠣ᠋ = the final form used in loanwords, as in ᠷᠠᠳᠢᠣ᠋ radio (радио radio).
  • ‍ᠣ᠋‍ = medial form used after the junction in a proper name compound.
  • Derived from Old Uyghur waw (𐽳), preceded by an aleph (𐽰) for isolate and initial forms.
  • Produced with W using the Windows Mongolian keyboard layout.
  • In the Mongolian Unicode block, o comes after i and before u.
