Latin Small Letter O

79/94

o is the ordinary lowercase letter o of the Latin alphabet, used in English, Spanish, Polish and many other languages. Read it as part of the surrounding word; its round shape is easy to mistake for zero. The surprised face :O uses capital O.

Text symbol

What o means

It's a letter; don't replace it with zero. In a password or code, the difference matters. If the font makes the two look alike, check the original text or ask the sender which one they meant.

What does :O mean?

Surprise. Read it sideways: the colon supplies eyes and O an open mouth. The version with a nose, :-O, also expresses shock.
