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. The standard is the "open omega" (Ω), resembling an open partial circle with the opening downward and the ends curled outward.
Alpha / ˈ æ l f ə / [1] (uppercase Α, lowercase α) [a] is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of one. Alpha is derived from the Phoenician letter aleph, which is the West Semitic word for "ox". [2] Letters that arose from alpha include the Latin letter A and the Cyrillic letter А.
The use since the earliest Christianity of the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet, alpha (α or Α) and omega (ω or Ω), derives from the statement said by Jesus (or God) himself "I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" (Revelation 22:13, also 1:8 and 21:6).
