Ogonek

In European languages the ogonek is attached to the right side of Aa, Ee and u, but in Native American languages it is supposed to be placed directly under the letter if technically possible. There are no separate Unicode poins for these variants. Note that the ogonek may be confused with cedilla ¸.

Uses of Ogonek

Usage	Language	Letters	Notes
Nasalization	Navajo	Ąą /ɑ̃̀/, Ą́ą́ /ɑ̃́/, Ęę /ẽ̀/, Ę́ę́ /ẽ́/, Įį /ĩ̀/, Į́į́ /ĩ́/, Ǫǫ /õ̀/, Ǫ́ǫ́ /ṍ/	The use of ogonek was inspired by Polish and Lithuanian. In Navajo the ogonek is supposed to be placed centrally under a and á, but there is barely any font support for this. Note that Ą́ą́, Ę́ę́, Į́į́ and Ǫ́ǫ́ are not precomposed characters.
	Polish	Ąą /ɔ̃/, Ęę /ɛ̃/	Ąą represents a mid open vowel instead of a low vowel because of sound mergers.
Length	Lithuanian	Ąą /aː/, Ęę /æː/, Įį /iː/, Ųų /uː/	Historically these developed from nasal vowels.
