The symbol ϕ (U+03D5) is designated specifically for the closed form, used as a technical symbol. The letter omega has at least three stylistic variants of its capital form.

In physics, angular velocity (symbol ω or , the lowercase Greek letter omega), also known as angular frequency vector, [1] is a pseudovector representation of how the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time, i.e. how quickly an object rotates (spins or revolves) around an axis of rotation and how ...
