RFV for the sense "A ligature representing the Latin o + u." See #ᴕ for context. I'm so meta even this acronym (talk) 00:56, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's this (see p. 237 top), which asserts that it is "commonly used", and this, which asserts "common practice". But I can't find any uses, per se. It seems to all be in the context of Native American recording. Hyarmendacil (talk) 06:54, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can confirm that a liguature of o and u has been used in recording Abenaki and other native American languages, but I don't have time to check which unicode character best encodes it. - -sche (discuss) 17:22, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a ou ligature; it's a ου ligature. See http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/unicode/other_ligatures.html and w:Ou (ligature). I suppose if we could find electronic use of Ȣ for an ou ligature (?!?), I'd have to accept it (but argue for a proscribed note) but even if we can find a printed ou ligature, I'd argue it's not Unicode character Ȣ, unless it really was using an Algonquin letter.--Prosfilaes (talk) 10:31, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
