Search for ‘Fugging’, shows up as Fugging.

Search for ‘Fucking’, shows up as OwO 🤷‍♂️

Looking this up in maps, the town name remains, along with the even more hilarious street names, Unterfucking and Oberfucking.

Looks like no one figured out the pattern yet but it is only OwO on Fahrenheit.

Incidental though, it doesn’t change to OwO when you change unit, so I guess US phones only.

lmao, it's infamously a real town but this looks like an Easter egg someone sneaked in

Was more common back in the day, now it's more frowned upon. :p

Fugging, Upper Austria

>Fugging (German: [ˈfʊkɪŋ] (listen)), spelt Fucking until 2021, is an Austrian village in the municipality of Tarsdorf, located in the Innviertel region of western Upper Austria. It is 33 km (21 mi) north of Salzburg and 4 km (2. 5 mi) east of the Inn river, which forms part of the German border. Despite a population of only 106 in 2020, the village has drawn attention in the English-speaking world for its former name, which was spelled the same as an inflected form of the vulgar English-language word "fuck".

Comment for visibility. This is the only true answer.

Search google maps for “Fucking” and choose the result in Austria. You’ll see it’s a landmark. So, there is weather data for the city of “Fugging” as as for the landmark “Fucking, Austria” which shows up as “OwO” in the weather app.

Who knows. Also, this is a German word in this context. BTW, this word, minus the ING, originally meant to till soil in English.

Don't know if its related but the town Fucking changed its name to Fugging in 2021? Maybe thats something to do with it not being a place anymore?

They changed the name a couple of years ago to a way more acceptable name.
