U+047A "Ѻ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Round Omega Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ѻ
U+047A "Ѻ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Round Omega is a historical variant of the Cyrillic letter Omega, primarily used in older Church Slavonic texts where it served as a stylistic or ornamental alternative to the standard narrow Omega. Unlike the more common form, this round version features a closed, circular shape and was often employed in liturgical manuscripts and inscriptions, particularly in headings or decorative contexts. It represents the same sound as the regular Omega, typically the long O or a diphthong, but its usage declined over time as Cyrillic script standardized, making it now a character of paleographic and scholarly interest rather than active modern writing.
