U+AB65 "ꭥ" Greek Letter Small Capital Omega Unicode Character

U+AB65 "ꭥ" Greek Letter Small Capital Omega is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a close-mid back rounded vowel, specifically a variant of the sound often denoted by the standard IPA symbol [o]. Its design is a small capital version of the Greek letter omega, distinguishing it from the lowercase omega and the uppercase Omega to fit within a single-case phonetic script. This character was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Latin Extended-E block to support phonetic transcription needs for linguistics and language documentation. It remains a niche but essential character for precise representation of vowel sounds in certain dialects and scholarly works.
