Oe orbarred O (Ө ө;italics:Ө ө) is a letter of theCyrillic script.
Its form was copied from theLatin letter barred O (Ɵ ɵ) used inJaꞑalif and other alphabets.[citation needed]
Despite having a similar shape, it is related neither to theGreek letter theta (Θ θ/ϑ) nor to the archaicCyrillic letter fita (Ѳ ѳ).
Oe is used in the alphabets of theBashkir,Buryat,Kalmyk,Karakalpak,Kazakh,Komi-Yazva,Kyrgyz,Mongolian,Sakha,Selkup,Tatar andTuvan languages.
InTurkic languages, it commonly represents the front rounded vowels /ø/ or /œ/. In Kazakh and Karakalpak, it may also express /wʉ/. InMongolic languages, it usually represents /o/ or /ɵ/. The letter has also been adopted in the spelling of theKomi-Yazva language, where it represents a close-mid centralized back unrounded or weakly rounded vowel /ɤ̹̈/. In Kyrgyz, Mongolian and Tuvan, the Cyrillic letter can be written as adouble vowel.[1][2][3]

Until a new alphabet was published in 2016, Oe was used to represent /ø/ inNegidal.
Oe is most commonlyromanized as⟨Ö⟩; but itsISO 9 transliteration is⟨ô⟩. In 2018, there were proposals to use⟨Ó⟩ as a romanization of Oe in Kazakh, but a year later it was certified as⟨Ö⟩.
TheInternational Phonetic Alphabet uses the identically shaped Latin counterpart,ɵ, to represent theclose-mid central rounded vowel, and sometimes also themid central rounded vowel.
