0x039F

0x039F is the hexadecimal notation for the Unicode code point U+039F, which identifies the character GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMICRON. In Unicode, this character represents the uppercase form of the Greek letter omicron, used in the Greek alphabet and in texts written in Greek.

The code point U+039F belongs to the Greek and Coptic block and has the general category Lu (Letter, Uppercase). Its position and name reflect its role as the uppercase counterpart of omicron, which is U+03BF (Greek small letter omicron). In Greek numerals, omicron carries the numeric value of 70.

Encoding and representations: In UTF-8, U+039F is encoded as the two-byte sequence 0xCE 0x9F. In UTF-16, it is represented as the single 16-bit code unit 0x039F. In UTF-32, it appears as 0x0000039F. Visual representation is the Greek letter Ο, which is visually indistinguishable from the Latin capital O in many fonts, though its usage and semantics differ in Greek text.

Usage: 0x039F/U+039F is used whenever the uppercase Greek omicron appears in Greek-language material, academic works on Greek language and linguistics, and any text that uses the Greek script. It should not be confused with the lowercase omicron (U+03BF) or with other similar-looking characters from different scripts.
