O-hook ҩ; italics: Ҩ ҩ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is derived from the initial form of the Arabic letter hāʾ, ھ. In the Unicode text-encoding standard, this letter is called "Abkhazian Ha".[1] Its form bears some similarities to the Greek letter Theta θ/ϑ). In English, O-hook is commonly romanized using the Latin letter O with dot below (Ọ ọ) but its ISO 9 transliteration is the Latin letter O with grave accent ò).

O-hook is used in the alphabet of the Abkhaz language where it represents the labial-palatal approximant /ɥ/, the sound of ui in French "huit" ([ɥi]). It is placed between Ы and Џ in the alphabet.
