Usage

In Altai, Khakas, Khanty and Shor, it represents the close-mid front rounded vowel /ø/.

In Komi, it represents the schwa /ə/, like the a in "allow".

In Kurdish, it represents the near-close near-back rounded vowel /ʊ/, like the oo in "book".

In Mari, it represents the open-mid front rounded vowel /œ/, like the o in "boat".

In Udmurt, it represents the open-mid back unrounded vowel /ʌ/, like the u in "up".

In Russian books until the beginning of the 20th century, the letter Ӧ has been sporadically used instead of Ё in foreign names and loanwords (for example, the city of Cologne, Germany, which is Köln in German, might have been rendered in Russian as "Кӧльн").[1]

In Tatar, this letter appeared in the 1861 Cyrillic orthography by Nikolay Ilminsky. This letter was replaced by Ө in 1939.
