History & usage: The character is named CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER CROSSED O. Its code point is U+A69A. It belongs to the Cyrillic Extended-B block and uses the Cyrillic script. In appearance, it shows an O with a diagonal cross bar. It is part of a broader set of Cyrillic letters used in some languages and in various text systems. In typographic practice, it is not a common everyday letter for most readers, but it exists in certain font families and encoded text. Its history is tied to the extension of Cyrillic characters to cover more sounds and writing needs. When you see it in data or font charts, it may be treated as a distinct letter or as a variant glyph depending on the font. For usage in interfaces, a click or action symbol can use a cross shape that resembles a crossed O. A cross symbol often denotes close/delete in UI or an incorrect state, context permitting. This practical use is separate from the character’s linguistic role and helps with iconography and user feedback in software.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
