U+A64D "ꙍ" Cyrillic Small Letter Broad Omega Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A64D "ꙍ" Cyrillic Small Letter Broad Omega is a historical glyph from the Early Cyrillic alphabet, representing a variant of the Omega letter that was used primarily in certain medieval Slavic manuscripts to denote a broad or open sound, often in place of the regular "ѡ" in specific orthographic contexts. This character is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block and is rarely used in modern languages, though it appears in scholarly editions of Old Church Slavonic texts and liturgical writings, where it serves as a typographic or phonetic marker distinct from the standard omega.
