[edit] History
The Cyrillic letter O was derived from the Greek letter Omicron (Ο ο).
The name of O in the Early Cyrillic alphabet was онъ (onŭ), meaning "he" or "it".
In the Cyrillic numeral system, O had a value of 70.
[edit] Form
The Cyrillic letter O looks exactly like the Latin letter O ⟨O o⟩ and the Greek letter Omicron ⟨Ο ο⟩.
[edit] Usage
In Russian, O is used word-initially, after another vowel, and after non-palatalized consonants. Because of a vowel reduction processes, the Russian /o/ phoneme may have a number of pronunciations in unstressed syllables, including [ɐ] and [ə].
