The Greek letters alpha and omega. Alpha (Α, α) and omega (Ω, ω) are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, and a title of Christ and God in the Book of Revelation. This pair of letters is used as a Christian symbol, [1] and is often combined with the Cross, Chi Rho or other Christian symbols. A and Z share the similarity with ...
the symbol ϖ, a graphic variant of π, is sometimes construed as omega with a bar over it; see π; the unsaturated fats nomenclature in biochemistry (e.g. ω−3 fatty acids) the first uncountable ordinal (also written as Ω) the clique number (number of vertices in a maximum clique) of a graph in graph theory
The symbol Ω was suggested, because of the similar sound of ohm and omega, by William Henry Preece in 1867. [18] In documents printed before Second World War the unit symbol often consisted of the raised lowercase omega (ω), such that 56 Ω was written as 56 ω.
The symbol ϵ (U+03F5) is designated specifically for the lunate form, used as a technical symbol. The symbol ϑ ("script theta") is a cursive form of theta (θ), frequent in handwriting, and used with a specialized meaning as a technical symbol.

The absolute infinite (symbol: Ω), in context often called "absolute", is an extension of the idea of infinity proposed by mathematician Georg Cantor.It can be thought of as a number that is bigger than any other conceivable or inconceivable quantity, either finite or transfinite.

ℵ 0 (aleph-nought, aleph-zero, or aleph-null) is the cardinality of the set of all natural numbers, and is an infinite cardinal.The set of all finite ordinals, called ω or ω 0 (where ω is the lowercase Greek letter omega), has cardinality ℵ 0.
