Etymology: In the late twenties or early thirties of the 20th century, it appeared as a simplification of ㄮ (ē), writing the dot and the second stoke of the bottom part ㄛ (ō) with one stroke. ㄮ (ē) was itself derived from ㄛ (ō) in 1920, when a new allophone appeared, writing a dot to differentiate between them. The letter ㄛ (ō) is itself derived from 𠀀, inhalation, the reverse of 丂 (kǎo) and an ancient form of 呵 (Mandarin: hē). Derived from ㄛ (ō)(Mandarin: ō), which was derived from 𠀀, inhalation, the reverse of 丂 (kǎo) and an ancient form of 呵 (Mandarin: hē), because Mandarin: ē is its allophone in Standard Chinese.
