Cyrillic Small Letter O Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Cyrillic Small Letter O because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+043E, which you can use as о in HTML, \043E in CSS, or type with Alt+1086 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Cyrillic Small Letter O is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+043E is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Cyrillic Small Letter O has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape о or the hex escape о.
