	'''Omicron''' (uppercase '''Ο''', lowercase '''ο''', literally "small o": Όμικρον, ''o mikron'', micron meaning 'small' in contrast to ''[[omega]]'') is the 15th letter of the [[Greek alphabet]]. In the system of [[Greek numerals]] it has a value of 70. It is rarely used in mathematics because it is indistinguishable from the [[Latin alphabet\|Latin]] letter [[O]] and easily confused with the [[Numerical digit\|digit]] [[0 (number)\|0]]. This letter is derived from the Phoenician letter [[Ayin]]. In [[modern Greek]], Omicron represents the sound ɔ. Letters that arose from omicron include Roman [[O]] and Cyrillic [[O (Cyrillic)\|O]].
