ö这个音很少出现但是在人名里面经常出现
The letter Ö occurs in the Icelandic, Swedish, Finnish, Karelian, Estonian, Hungarian, Azeri, Turkish and Crimean Tatar alphabets, where it represents the vowel sound [ø]. Its name in Swedish, Finnish and Estonian is Öö [øː], not "O with two dots", since /ö/ is not considered a "variant" of the phoneme /o/, but a distinct phoneme.
Note that unlike the O-umlaut (see below), the letter Ö cannot be written as "oe". Minimal pairs exist between 'ö' and 'oe' (and also with 'oo', 'öö' and 'öe'). Consider Finnish eläinkö "animal?" (interrogative) vs. eläinkoe "animal test", or Finnish töissä "at work", toissa "before last" (cf. Germanic umlaut). In the case the character Ö is unavailable, O is substituted and context is relied upon for inference of the intended meaning.
It is collated as an independent letter, usually by placing it at the end of the alphabet. It is the last letter in the Finnish alphabet, after Z, Å and Ä, thus fulfilling the place of "omega", for example in the Finnish expression aasta ööhön "from A to Z".
In Estonian, öö means night.
