Open O
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Open o (majuscule: Ɔ, minuscule: ɔ) is a letter of the extended Latin alphabet. In the International Phonetic Alphabet, it represents the open-mid back rounded vowel. It is used in the orthographies of many African languages using the African reference alphabet.
[edit] Unicode
In Unicode, the majuscule Ɔ is encoded in the Latin Extended-B block at U+0186 and the minuscule ɔ is encoded at U+0254.

The letter looks as a reversed C. Claudius introduced a reversed C (the antisigma) with the intention of replacing bs and ps.
The Yucatec Maya language used a reversed C as a consonant in the orthography of the Colonial period. Now dz or tz' is preferred.
