What does ぉ character mean in のぉ?


Can somebody explain the purpose of ぉ character in the end of the following
sentence?

What part of speech can be assigned to ぉ ?

Can the ending の be glued up with ぉ?

> アドビにうまいことやられた **のぉ** 。




It seems to just be an emphatic, stylistic lengthening of the `の` preceding
it.




The のぉ is what we normally write as
「[のう](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%AE%E3%81%86-596155)」, one of the
sentence ending particles (終助詞).

I think it sounds rather archaic, now _we think_ it's only used by older
people (but I doubt it's actually used daily anymore... I think we only see it
in fictional works eg anime, manga, dramas, novels etc.), and younger people
don't use it in "normal" conversation. I think it's probably the archaic
equivalent for modern ね/ねえ/ねぇ or maybe な/なあ.

It has a different intonation from the sentence ending particle [の
(終助詞)](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%AE-596099).

> 「のう」⇒「やられた↗[のう]{HL}↘。(The subject is probably the hearer.)」  
>  「の」⇒「どうした↘[の～]{LH}↗？(The subject is the hearer.)」--「やられた↘[の～]{LL}↘。(The
> subject is the speaker.)」
