About this character

U+00E5 (å) is LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE, a lowercase letter in the Latin-1 Supplement block. It belongs to the Latin script. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is precomposed. Under NFD it decomposes into U+0061 a + U+030A ◌̊, and NFC recombines that sequence into this single codepoint, so both spellings are canonically equivalent and should compare equal after normalization. See the normalization guide.
