Source: Browser Default
U+A7B6 "Ꞷ" Latin Capital Letter Omega is a typographic variant of the Greek capital omega, specifically designed for use in Latin script orthographies, primarily in certain African languages such as the Gbe languages where it represents a distinct vowel sound, often a close-mid back rounded vowel or a similar phonetic value not covered by standard Latin letters. It was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Latin Extended-D block to support scholarly and practical transcriptions, distinguishing it from the Greek omega (Ω) and allowing precise linguistic representation in digital text.
