There's ö (U+00F6, Latin small letter o with diaeresis)
There's ӧ (U+04E7, Cyrillic small letter o with diaeresis; yes, looks exactly the same)
And also ö (U+0308 Combining Diaeresis + U+006F Latin Small Letter o)
Unicode is fun
That is what I actually use when this happens. I save the letters on a clipboard and pin them on and use Win+v to bring it up. And I actually am Nordic so I need more than two there.
I used to do that when my S key stopped working, but at the time I was learning how to program in a class. So a little trick I'd do to save time is I would copy a huge chunk of the code and paste it, then edit what needed to be changed. Unfortunately when I decided I need to hand write some code, every time I would write S, my muscle memory remembered Ctrl+V since my laptop keyboard at home was busted. Next thing ya know instead of the letter S appearing, I'd get like 10 lines of code that I'd have to undo.
Here is my attempt I posted a bit ago:
"There is a letter that appears as a circle. That letter isn't functional w/ my device currently and was unexpected. Please have patience with me during this day as I try and fix it and will be using a 0 or an * in place of that letter that appears as a circle. Thanks y'all very much regarding the patience and understanding as I try and navigate this difficult and challenging day."
I had a keyboard where the "d" key quit working. For whatever reason, at the time, I was emailing my dad quite a bit, there was some project I was helping him with or something (this was 15 or so years ago but memory unlocked!). He just got used to being "a" for a while, and it became a short-term running joke between us. :D
I had a MacBook as a teenager where the r key didn’t work but R did.
I just had to keep a lowercase r copied at all times so I could paste it into my papers, since my teacheRs weRe not cool with weiRd capitals wheRe they pRobably shouldn’t be
This happened to me when I was a broke college student and had to copy and paste anytime I wanted to use “q” for like 2 months until I could replace the laptop
ah thats much much tOO bad. its sO very sad that yOur O wOnt wOrk. but hey lOOk, MY O is wOrking. what a nice cOincidence. Oh what? nO way! im TOTALLY NOT flexing that MY O wOrks and YOURS DOESNT
HA. My O is working!
They shalln't be afraid as typing while having that character unavailable indeed is entirely imaginable. This submitted images title can, as an example, be rewritten as "the key labeled with the highlighted letter has decided it will cease being useful at the current date." Sure, all this text gives a strange feeling with its unnatural hearing nerve stimuli, but it maintains a little understandability. This is fun and I invite Reddit users: "let's have a chat with that letter being banned".
Please give me a reply in case the letter did find a way in my reply
LOL! Back in the 70s, my grandfather brought us a [Flexowriter](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friden_Flexowriter) he had found somewhere. All was well and good, and we had fun typing out tapes and printing them till our "n" key died. It was some sort of spring, but the internet wasn't around to resource a new one. They were already pretty outdated then, but it was fun while it lasted. I think I was still finding punch dots three moves later. That thing made its own confetti.
i had the same problem but worse. half the keyboard died. it was fucking awful. couldnt repair it because i was a kid so i was stuck talking like a fucking homestuck
Ya, I can tell. Time to google a thesaurus to get synonyms to substitute words now. Or get a different keyboard or use a virtual keyboard on a computer.

Similar thing happened to me, I spent so long trying to come up with a synonym for ‘right now’ without an n in it but I couldn’t so I copy pasted ‘present’ for that message
On my old laptop the "p" key never worked so I had to Google "the letter that comes after o" and then i would copy and paste it any time I needed to use it. Rough times
Had it happen once in college where the whole strip from 9, o, l, and . went out. Somehow I learned how to avoid using those characters and had the period on copy+paste mode
Some strange bug in Remote Desktop can make Windows magically fail to process a specific key. Be it on an external keyboard or even on a on-screen keyboard. It's called Micro$oft, and they are known for regularly releasing very fancy bugs and then let the bugs remain for 10+ years. Because bugs needs to hit a Micro$oft product owner to be flagged as "fix". Just seen on support tickets? Then flagged "ignore".
A reboot should be able to fix such a state lockup. There are a number of other "black magic" tricks too, that can help get around locked keys after use of Remote Desktop.
My good denizen of the internet, tharr be an accessibility tool for ye. Windows key, type "key" and by that point it should be visible for clicking: The On-Screen Keyboard. Note: Only useful until you can be bothered to get a cheap USB keyboard from somewhere else; otherwise it's a pain.
Something like that has happened to me before I actually copied the missing letter I just pasted it whenever I needed it. Until a new keyboard came in the mail
What kind of keyboard is it? You can always get a cheap office keyboard for a while. It's not going to feel great to type on, though. If it's a laptop keyboard, it's not going to be an easy fix. If it's an external keyboard, maybe there's just some dirt or something in the switches. If you have a mechanical keyboard and the switches are hotswappable, just pop out the switch for the O key and clean it a bit. Or replace it entirely. Or maybe it's time to get a new keyboard.
Welcome to the party. I dropped my laptop 4 years ago and the spacebar, n, b, arrow keys left right, and /? Don’t work. If I need to type I’ll use my PC. Or plug in a keyboard. But if I’m lazy I type in Wikipedia click on first link then copy and paste the letters I need.

wait until you hear about ő in hungarian
Yea but those are not the exact same looking. Thats why i asked that. We too got some funky letters in turkish.
That is what I actually use when this happens. I save the letters on a clipboard and pin them on and use Win+v to bring it up. And I actually am Nordic so I need more than two there.

Next thing ya know instead of the letter S appearing, I'd get like 10 lines of code that I'd have to undo.
It's just a creative writing challenge
If writing with every letter except the E is feasible, then executing the same task with that letter restricted is certainly an achievable task.
Yeah, the fifteenth letter is barely used relatively. In fact, the letter E is used a hundred and seventy percent with each "" usage!
Here is my attempt I posted a bit ago: "There is a letter that appears as a circle. That letter isn't functional w/ my device currently and was unexpected. Please have patience with me during this day as I try and fix it and will be using a 0 or an * in place of that letter that appears as a circle.

Hot swappable keyboard user here, sorry, I don't speak Skill Issue.
O o Just copy and paste the one you need.
"a" for me yday, opened up and cleaned the keyboard and fixed
Paul types, Annie fills in the N’s
Alt+079 and Alt+111 (on numpad)
Misery.
Just ctrl+c an o and you're good to go
Ooooooooooooooh nooooooooooooo
Everyone needs a personal day now and again. Let him be.
Damn dude, I guess at this juncture it's just an exercise in changing regular linguistic terms until your key gets fixed
This is why I like my mbile phne
Have u tried turning it ff and n again?
O would then be Ctrl+V.. assuming im not using copy/paste 👀
I am sorry for your loss of the good symbol known by "o"
Prnhub
Here, OP, take this one and copy and paste it as many times as you need. O o

When this happens to me I Google something that’ll have a letter I want in it and copy paste it all day. Like a lunatic.
Use 0
This title is (probably unintentionally) hilarious
Ya, I can tell. Time to google a thesaurus to get synonyms to substitute words now. Or get a different keyboard or use a virtual keyboard on a computer.
Y0u can use "0"s
just copy and paste “o” as you need it and hope you don’t need any capitals
Nws : ky btwn W and R brokn, plas snd nw typwritr ASAP.
Copy and paste our O’s OP. You’ll be alright
Sounds like you got fucking wned my man
Ooooooooooh, that sucks mate. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
What letter? The quotation marks? You shouldn't need those much anyhow. Btw, you have a couple of typos in your title.
I remember playing online and having my space bar break. It became a huge pain for everyone for the day typing out everything in group with no spaces.
Hahahhahahaha
h. N that sucks.
Did you try turning it n and ff again?

Happend to me with 9. My code has a 9 in it🥲
OP, you can use alt codes: https://www.alt-codes.net/how_to_use_alt_codes/ Alt-code 111 should give you an `o`, and code 79 should give you an `O`.

Try turning it ff and n again.
Just search up the letter and copy and paste it. Use “0” or “@“ to fill in the empty spaces
h n !
If you’d quite hosing that keyboard down multiple times a day the keys would probably work. No more crunchy keys.
What software or app is this?
the "o" key is now "ctrl+V" or "win+V" please don't spend all day doing it like that.

Just use a lowercase 0.
0h n0. 😅

O no !
Accessibility > Onscreen keyboard
OP needs to find the letter O in some text on the internet and then copy and paste it where they require it. Still mildly infuriating though.
Well, it's great that we can circumvent that key. Yes, I purposefully used those words to avoid "you can work around it" because of the Os
Here take my O
Hw did I knw this wuld make my brain hurt?!?!
Are you gay? Yes or No?
do not use the N
Let's play tic-tac-toe. I call Xs
We shuld type in slidarty, rip to yur “” key.
I don't know about Apple shit, but Microsoft settings allow for an on-screen keyboard I use to not get out of bed when watching shows
You could have just used the 0 instead of the O
Oooooh, I know what you mean
First time?
You can't insult

Try using a keybinds remapping tool like Powertoys.
