'''Round Omega''' is a misleading [[Unicode]] name of so-called Cyrillic letter '''Broad On''' (Ѻ, ѻ), a variant of regular [[O (Cyrillic)|Cyrillic letter "On" (О, о)]]. Broad On is used in [[Church Slavonic]] as the 1st letter of word's root: in the initial position ('''ѻ'''гнь, '''ѻ'''трокъ), after a prefix (пра'''ѻ'''тецъ), in compound words (ѻбоюду'''ѻ'''стрый), and in two geographical names (і'''ѻ'''рданъ—[[Jordan River]], і'''ѻ'''ппіа—city of [[Jaffa]]) and their derivatives, and as the numerical sign to represent number 70 (whereas [[Omega (Cyrillic)|Cyrillic Omega]] represents 800).

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.

A misleading Unicode name of Broad On is Round Omega. (Note that the Cyrillic Omega represents 800 instead of 70).
