Etymology
Letter
Å (upper case, lower case å)
- The twenty-sixth letter of the Finnish alphabet, called ruotsalainen oo and written in the Latin script.
Usage notes
- Despite being part of the Finnish alphabet, the letter is only used in Scandinavian names. As a result, it is often seen as a symbol of the Swedish language (which is also an official language in Finland, although not without controversy).
