omicron
This term refers specifically to a character in the Greek alphabet. In linguistic and typographic contexts, it is treated as a distinct entity, though it is functionally identical to the letter omega in sound, differing only in its historical designation as the small o.
While the term has gained significant global recognition as a designation for a specific variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, in a strict lexicographical sense, it remains the name of the fifteenth letter. When used in the context of viral nomenclature, it follows the World Health Organization's system of using Greek letters to label variants of concern.
