The theory is further supported by the fact that the Cyrillic alphabet replaced almost completely the Glagolitic one in northeastern Bulgaria as early as the end of the 10th century, whereas the Ohrid Literary School—where Saint Clement worked—continued to use the Glagolitic alphabet until the 12th century.
Although Cyril is almost certainly not the author of the Cyrillic alphabet, his contributions to Glagolitic alphabet and hence to the Cyrillic alphabet are still recognised, as the latter is named after him.

Omega (Ѡ, ѡ) is a letter of the early Cyrillic alphabet, descended from the Greek Omega (Ω, ω).

 Sha
Sha (Ш, ш) is the 25th letter of the Cyrillic alphabet.
This sound is described as a voiceless postalveolar fricative and postalveolar fricatives are the major reason why the Glagolitic and later the Cyrillic alphabet were invented because Slavic languages are rich on postalveolar fricatives and you cannot write these sounds with a simple Roman or Greek letter without diacritics.
Most letters of Cyrillic script have been derived from Greek and as there was no Greek sign for the Sha sound, Glagolitic Sha was adopted.

Omega is an extension of TeX developed by John Plaice (Universiti Laval, Canada) and Yannis Haralambous (Lille, France).
Omega also allows multiple input and output character sets, and uses programmable filters to translate from one encoding to another, to perform contextual analysis, etc. Internally, Omega uses the universal 16-bit Unicode standard character set, based on ISO-10646.
Omega will be installed in CTAN after the Omega conference in March.

The archaic Greek characters no longer in use in Cyrillic are still treated as Cyrillic letters, rather than unified with their Greek progenitors; at least some of them were used in normal Slavonic words, and typographically they developed differently from Standard Greek (e.g.
In most fonts, they look rather more old fashioned than normal Cyrillic; that is because most of these characters were restricted to Old Church Slavonic, which is traditionally printed in a typeface close to what was in the manuscripts, rather than modernising it (i.e.

Yes, Unicode objects "CYRILLIC LETTER OMEGA WITH TITLO" were probably intended to represent exclamatory omegas, but now at least there is no contradiction between name and glyph shape: object is named "omega with titlo", picture also demonstrates a sort of omega with titlo.
Cyrillic part of Unicode is common for all times and lands, thus all representative glyphs have to be adjusted to the same common style.
OMEGAS and OT all must be of the same size and shape; diacritical marks must be wide enough.

It has certainly never been the intent to have the ARG discuss the identifier characters for all the languages in the world.
So to answer your questions, a Latin A is not the same thing as a Greek Alpha or a Cyrillic A. And at this point the kanjis and hanguls are not letters, so they are not allowed in identifiers.
