In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the lowercase letter is used to represent the open back rounded vowel sound, that appears for example in the English word not. Its usage was originally proposed in the 1900s and 1910s and was formally introduced in the 1920s.[1][6]
It appeared in the 1939 Handbook of the Linguistic Geography of New England, where it was used to represent the open back rounded vowel ([ɒ]).[7] It is also sometimes appeared in other works, where it was used in to denote the open back unrounded vowel ([ɑ]).
The letter is also used in Belter Creole, a constructed language made by Nick Farmer for The Expanse television sci-fi series. It is sometimes used as an alternative variant for the digraph Ow, used to denote the open back rounded vowel ([ɒ]) sound. For example, the alternative spelling of the word owkwa, which means water, would be ɒkwa.[4]
