- Indistinguishable from u, except when inferred by its placement: it is only found in medial or final syllables if the initial syllable also carries it, or rarely when it carries the vowel i.[2]: 11, 19 [11]: 9–10
- ᠣ᠋ = the final form used in loanwords, as in ᠷᠠᠳᠢᠣ᠋ radio (радио radio).[10]: 48 [12]: 36 [13]
- ᠣ᠋ = medial form used after the junction in a proper name compound.[12]: 44
- Derived from Old Uyghur waw (𐽳), preceded by an aleph (𐽰) for isolate and initial forms.[3]: 539–540, 545–546 [14]: 111, 113 [12]: 35
- Produced with W using the Windows Mongolian keyboard layout.[15]
- In the Mongolian Unicode block, o comes after i and before u.
