Lowercase o with diaeresis and macron (ȫ) is the Unicode character at U+022B in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS AND MACRON — the letter o with two dots and a macron stacked above.
Remember
Character ȫ
Unicode U+022B
Hex entity ȫ
Decimal ȫ
CSS escape \022B
Named entity (none)
Capital Ȫ (U+022A)
Not the same o · ö (ö) · ō (ō)
Prefer ȫ or ȫ in HTML when you need an entity. You can also type ȫ in a UTF-8 document.
Built with Hex: ȫ
Built with Decimal: ȫ
Built with CSS: ȫ
Typed: ȫ
Notation: [ȫ]
How It Works
1. Hex:U+022B → ȫ in HTML. The browser turns it into ȫ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 555 → ȫ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \022B in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ȫ.
4. Typed: paste ȫ in a UTF-8 document for linguistic text. There is no named entity — numeric form is required when you need an entity.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with lowercase o with diaeresis and macron.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+022B. Use ȫ or ȫ.
ö
Not plain ö
ö (ö) has only the diaeresis. ȫ also has a macron — different letter, different code point.
Look-alikes
Not omacr alone
ō (ō) is o with macron only. Do not swap it for ȫ when both accents are required.
Fonts
Need Extended-B coverage
Some fonts omit Latin Extended-B. Prefer a font that includes U+022B for reliable glyphs.
CSS
Pad the CSS escape
Prefer \022B (four hex digits). A short \22B can swallow the next hex digit if one follows immediately.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\022B belongs in CSS strings. ȫ / ȫ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ȫ, not ȫ.
Compatibility

Key Takeaways
Unicode: lowercase o with diaeresis and macron is U+022B (decimal 555) — glyph ȫ.
HTML: use ȫ or ȫ — no named entity.
CSS: use \022B inside content for generated text.

One line:U+022B → ȫ / ȫ / CSS \022B (no named entity).
Frequently Asked Questions

No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character. Use numeric references like ȫ or ȫ when you need an entity form.
Use it for linguistic notation, transliteration systems, and extended Latin orthographies that need ȫ. Prefer plain o or ö for everyday German/Swedish ö.
HTML entities (ȫ or ȫ) go in markup. The CSS escape \022B goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. U+022B is a precomposed letter with both diaeresis and macron. ö (U+00F6, ö) has only the two dots. Combining diaeresis is U+0308 and combining macron is U+0304 after a base.
