Broad On (Ѻ, ѻ) is a variant of regular Cyrillic letter "On" (О, о) used in Church Slavonic:
- as the 1st letter of word's root:
- in the initial position (ѻгнь, ѻтрокъ),
- after a prefix (праѻтецъ),
- in compound words (ѻбоюдуѻстрый),
- and in two geographical names (іѻрданъ—Jordan River, іѻппіа—city of Jaffa) and their derivatives,
- and as the numerical sign to represent number 70.
