"Easy listening" but finnish.
Good way to check your level of finnish (mine is just three words over the zero)

So, »manoeuver« is an accepted variant.

Maneuver/manoeuvre must be the English word with the most spelling variants.
Wiktionary has
maneuver
maneuvre
manoeuver
manoeuvre
manœuver
manœuvre

Google ngram has seen some more:

manoueuvre,
manouver,
manouvre,

Misspellings, sure, but something that has appeared in print.

The only version i could think of not there is

manoueuver

Beauty Parlour

I think I’ll start a beauty parlor promoted as “By bad spellers for poor readers.”

I’ll call it Heredressers.
