O with macron (Cyrillic)
Cyrillic letter
O with macron (О̄ о̄; italics: О̄ о̄) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. In all its forms it looks exactly like the Latin letter O with macron (Ō ō Ō ō).
O with macron are used in the Evenki, Mansi, Nanai, Negidal, Orok, Ulch, Kildin Sami, Selkup, and Chechen languages.
O with macron also appears in the Transcarpathian dialect of Carpatho-Rusyn, the only Slavic language to do so. In Carpatho-Rusyn, o with macron is pronounced like /oː/ being shifted towards /u/ at different grades. However, the use of this letter is not mandatory and it usually substituted with the Cyrillic letters O or I.[1][2]
