U006F

U+006F is the Unicode code point for the Latin small letter o. It is the lowercase form of the letter O in the basic Latin alphabet and is used in many languages that employ the Latin script, including English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese.

In Unicode, U+006F resides in the Basic Latin block. Its decimal value is 111. Because it lies within the ASCII range, its UTF-8 encoding is a single byte 0x6F, and its UTF-16 encoding is 0x006F. In HTML and XML it can be represented with character references such as o or o. For URL percent-encoding, the corresponding byte is represented as %6F.

As a vowel, the letter o appears in a wide range of words across languages that use the Latin script and can represent different pronunciations depending on the language and context, typically a mid back rounded vowel in many cases. It combines with other letters to form numerous digraphs and orthographic patterns. While U+006F itself has no diacritic, many languages employ accented variants using distinct code points (for example ó or ò) that yield different letters from U+006F.
