Mid front rounded vowel ø̞ IPA number 310 430 Encoding Entity (decimal) ø̞Unicode (hex) U+00F8 U+031E
The mid front rounded vowel is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages.
While there is no dedicated symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents the "exact" mid front rounded vowel between close-mid [ø] and open-mid [œ] (since no language is known to distinguish all three), ⟨ø⟩ is generally used. If precision is desired, diacritics can be used (i.e. [ø̞] or [œ̝]).

- Its vowel backness is front, which means the tongue is positioned as far forward as possible in the mouth without creating a constriction that would be classified as a consonant.
- Its roundedness is compressed, which means that the margins of the lips approach one another, so that the inner surfaces are not exposed.
