Uses and scope

Polish uses ą and ę. Lithuanian also includes į and ų. These are alphabet letters in their respective languages. A historical association or a phonetic use of the ogonek does not make all modern ogonek vowels equivalent in pronunciation; the language's own account is needed. [27], [44], [4]

Similar shapes, different characters

The cedilla is a different mark, despite both sitting below letters. Do not choose between them by font shape alone. In canonically decomposed text, the ogonek follows its base and can coexist with other marks. The table includes such encoded combinations without asserting a common language for every one. [1], [2], [27], [44], [4]

Typing and text forms

Copying is exact; preview circles are excluded. Compare normalization forms.

Word for Windows: Select a hex code, then Alt+X; repeat for each scalar.
Mac and mobile: Hold a letter for supported variants; use Character Viewer on Mac or a language keyboard on mobile.
HTML: Use UTF-8 text or the numeric references in Details, in order.

Sources, versions and limits

Encoded properties: Properties use Unicode 17.0.0. Normalization follows UAX #15; grapheme boundaries follow UAX #29. Script associations describe encoded properties, not language use.
Language evidence: CLDR 48.2and the IANA registry dated 2026-08-08. Main and auxiliary exemplars are distinct. CLDR exemplars are not complete orthographies.
Review and limitations: The dataset is derived from the sources above. Editorial guides cite additional scoped authorities. No native or specialist orthography approval is implied. Release scope date: 14 September 2026. Historic or specialist usage needs separate evidence. Registry-only records have unknown orthography in this release.
