Barred o (capital:Ɵ,lowercase:ɵ) is aletter in severalLatin-script alphabets.
Historic examples include theAzerbaijani alphabet used between 1922 and 1933 and its successor, theUniform Turkic Alphabet (including its versions likeJaꞑalif and theAzerbaijani alphabet used between 1933 and 1939), in which it represented theopen-mid front rounded vowel[œ].
In many alphabets it was replaced by theCyrillic letterӨ ө in 1939. In Azerbaijani, it was again replaced by the Latin letterÖ ö in 1991.
TheTatar Latin alphabet devised in the late 1990s by theTatarstan authorities included the letter Ɵ ɵ. The letter is also part of theAfrican reference alphabet.
In theInternational Phonetic Alphabet, the lowercase[ɵ] (originally a closed e, later reinterpreted as a barred o) represents theclose-mid central rounded vowel.
The letter is not to be confused with theslashed zero, slashed O (Ø ø), the similar Latin letterꝊ ꝋ, the Cyrillic lettersfita (Ѳ ѳ) andOe (Ө ө), the Greektheta (Θ θ),Tifinagh letteryab (ⴱ), or thePlimsoll symbol (⦵), despite their similar shapes.
