EDIT Name: ring

Languages: Czech, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Walloon

History and examples of use

In Czech, the ring (kroužek) lengthens the pronunciation of ů. In Scandinavian languages, it changes the pronunciation of å. With å, it is also used in Valonese. Å denotes angström, the unit of length in physics (10⁻¹⁰ m).
Notes

For Scandinavian languages, a shape similar to the lower case o, with some stroke contrast as appropriate to the typeface, is prefered. Letters with this diacritic mark are not generally considered accented letters per se, but typically consitute distinct letters in alphabets in which they occur. The ring is sometimes merged with upper case Å, but Scandinavian users have complained about this practice.

In Czech, the ring may be shaded, perfectly circular or, according to the typeface style, may be open on the right side and connect to the right stem of the U (see some designs by Oldřich Menhart in Gallery, for example).
