  • Transcribes Chakhar /o/;[8][9] Khalkha /o/[ɵ], /ə/, and //.[10]: 40–42  Transliterated into Cyrillic with the letter ө.[11][4]
  • Indistinguishable from ü, except where ö can be inferred from its context:
    • ö is found in medial or final syllables if it's also found syllable-initially.[2]: 11, 20 [7]: 9–10 
  • ‍ᠥ᠋ = an alternative final form; also used in loanwords.[12]: 39 
  • The syllable-initial medial form ‍ᠥ᠋‍ is also used in non-initial syllables in proper name compounds,[12]: 44  as well as in loanwords.[citation needed]
  • ‍ᠥ᠌‍ = medial form used after the junction in a proper name compound.[12]: 44 
  • Derived from Old Uyghur waw (𐽳), followed by a yodh (𐽶) in word-initial syllables, and preceded by an aleph (𐽰) for isolate and initial forms.[3]: 539–540, 545–546 [13]: 111, 113 [12]: 35 
  • Produced with O using the Windows Mongolian keyboard layout.[14]
  • In the Mongolian Unicode block, ö comes after u and before ü.
