⟨ois⟩

From Teflpedia

⟨ois⟩ is a vowel trigraph that occurs marginally in English, mostly in French-to-English loans with a silent S.

This occurs in Illinois where it represents the ᴄʜᴏɪᴄᴇ vowel. The surname du Bois in American is pronounced /du: bɔɪz/ or /du: bɔɪs/.[1]

Otherwise, it /wɑː/ to /wæ/, e.g. bourgeois, Stella Artois.

In chamois, it represents the 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱ʏ vowel.
