They are interchangable and pronounced the same. I think special characters like 'ō' are used when available but in their absence 'ou' works.
Maybe.

どういたしまして =
どう (如何) means “how” + いたしまして (致しまして)comes from 致す which means “to do”; usually written using kana alone.
So, the whole expression could mean (it is "how it happened") , but used, in reply to (ありがとう) to mean(not at all), (don’t mention it) or (you are welcome).
