Quoting from the proposal,
“A further, shorter, alternative would be LATIN CAPITAL/SMALL LETTER
HORNED O, referring to the letter’s name /o rogate/ ‘horned o’ in
colloquial use among Polish specialists (e. g. Bień 2020:2).”
That might be workable unless it is felt that there may be confusion
between the proposed character pair and LATIN CAPITAL/SMALL LETTER O
WITH HORN.
