Usage notes

[edit]
  • Only used in words of foreign origin, usually English. Even rare in loanwords, as this letter does not represent a sound of its own. Also used in old inscriptions and texts instead ofs ork.
  • Still kept in many Christian names, therefore Caroline and Karoline are both acceptable spellings.
  • In most of the neo-runic inscriptions from 17-19th centuries is spelled as ᛎ.[1][2]
