LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
Overview
Å is a letter of the Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish alphabets, alphabetised at the end rather than treated as a variant of A, and U+00C5 encodes it in Latin-1 Supplement. It is also the sign for the ångström, the unit of 10⁻¹⁰ metres used for atomic distances and wavelengths. Unicode separately encodes U+212B ANGSTROM SIGN, but that character canonically decomposes to this one, so normalisation folds the two together and this is the preferred spelling for both uses. A further canonical decomposition splits it into A plus a combining ring above. The general category is Lu (letter, uppercase).
