Ou (Letter)none The letter Ou () is a letter in the extended Latin alphabet used for writing the Algonquin language. The letter was invented by Christian missionaries, originally for writing the Wendat language. The Ou letter was based on an unofficial ligature from the Greek alphabet for ου. In Cyrillic this ligature spawned a shorter form of the letter Uk, which was previously written as a ligature of О and У (). In Unicode it is in the Latin Extended-B range at code points U+0222 (uppercase) and U+0223 (lowercase). In older character encodings (such as ISO 8859) and locales where Unicode is not available, it is usually represented by an italic 8 glyph.
