Oni, or On (Asomtavruli: Ⴍ; Nuskhuri: ⴍ; Mkhedruli; ო or ʟ; Mtavruli: Ო; Georgian: ონი, ონ) is the 16th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1] The letter Oni can also be spelled like the Latin letter L, however this version of writing Oni has fallen out of favour.
In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 70.[2]
Oni commonly represents the mid back rounded vowel /o̞/,[3] like between the pronunciation of ⟨o⟩ in "story" and the pronunciation of ⟨aw⟩ in "yawn" (Received Pronunciation). It is typically romanized with the letter O.[4]
An additional mkhedruli oni letters, ო̈ with an umlaut, ო̄ with a macron and ო̄̈ with both umlaut and macron are used in Svan language.[5]
