  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Palaeography
To the square and round letters succeeded elongated characters terminating in a point; right angles were replaced by sharp corners; circles became pointed and tapering ovals.
Cyril and Methodius, created the Slavonic alphabet, from which the writings of all the Slavonic peoples are derived.
As in Ireland, it is sometimes round, broad, and squat (especially in the seventh and eighth centuries), sometimes angular, with long and pointed ascenders.

It was created by Saint Cyril around 862-863 in order to translate the Bible and other texts into the Slavonic language (more exactly, Old Church Slavonic).
Some of them are presumed to stem from the Hebrew and Samaritan scripts, which Cyril got to know during his journey to the Khazars in Cherson.
At the end of the 9th century, one of these students of Methodius who was settled in Preslav (Bulgaria) created the Cyrillic alphabet, and this descendant of the Glagolitic almost entirely replaced the Glagolitic during the Middle Ages.

 Glagolitic alphabet
The Glagolitic alphabet was almost entirely replaced during the Middle Ages by its descendant, the Cyrillic alphabet.
The round variant is dominated by circles and smooth curves, and the square variant features a lot of right angles, and sometimes trapezoids.
The following table lists each letter in order, giving a picture (round variant), its name, its approximate sound in SAMPA, the Greek letter that it was used to transliterate (if applicable), and the modern Cyrillic letter that it directly gave rise to (if any).

 UCS generic collation locale -- rationale for Cyrillic
The order given fo the Cyrillic script in ISO 14651 are based on the same principles which are used to order the Latin script.
Although Cyrillic letters are, by convention, considered separate at level 1 of the sort, nevertheless, in order to be consisitent with the ordering of the Latin and Greek scripts in 14651, similar characters are ranked at level 1 as though they had accents at level 3.
There is a lot of literature using the Cyrillic script which would require the Old Church Slavonic ordering, and I felt that it was best (and less contentious) to stick to the layout of the prototypical Cyrillic script for ISO 14651.

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.

Omega, I think, just doesn't want ANYONE to be able to sell using what they seem to think is a unique attribute of certain hand types that Omega uses.
Add to that the fact that metals mesh differently under atmosphere and in vacuum (since there is no atmosphere to act as a microlubricant to prevent molecular bonding), and you can see the kind of challenges that face any watch that wants to be certified for extra-vehicular excursions.

Round Omega Biography on DanceAge (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)
Round Omega is a misleading Unicode name of so-called Cyrillic letter "Broad On" (Ѻ, ѻ), a variant of regular Cyrillic letter "On" (О, о).
Broad On is used in Church Slavonic as the 1st letter of word's root: in the initial position (ѻгнь, ѻтрокъ), after a prefix (праѻтецъ), in compound words (ѻбоюдуѻстрый), and in two geographical names (iѻрданъ—Jordan River, iѻппiа—city of Jaffa) and their derivatives, and as the numerical sign to represent number 70 (whereas Omega represents 800).

 A tutorial on character code issues
For example, although characters such as Latin uppercase A, Cyrillic uppercase A, and Greek uppercase alpha are regarded as distinct characters (with distinct code values) in Unicode, a particular font might contain just one A which is used to present all of them.
For example, when discussing the Cyrillic letter that resembles the Latin letter E (and may have an identical or very similar glyph, and is transliterated as E according to ISO 9), there are various options:
"cyrillic capital letter ie" (using the official Unicode name) or "cyrillic IE" (using an abridged version); one problem with this is that the names can be long even if simplified, and they still cannot be assumed to be universally known even by people who recognize the character

 Greek Diacritics
As discussed elsewhere, the Old Cyrillic diacritics are 9th century borrowings of the Greek diacritics, and as such usually have archaic forms.
The diacritic is unique to Greek to my knowledge, although the kind of mediaeval ligature that gave rise to it may also be seen at work in the Latin Mediaeval superscript letters
As I have also discussed, the iota subscript is normally restricted to appearing with an alpha, iota, or omega, though there is a one-off instance with an upsilon that has made it to print (and there may be others in manuscripts that have been normalised in editions).

 The "Atomic Theory" of Unicode
(Despite its name, LETTER ROUND OMEGA is a variant of LETTER O.) There are also some mathematical symbols that are best considered as glyph variants.
This could be done algorithmically, but it requires clever image processing capability: software could do something like surrounding the character with a thin fl line, and then invert the interior of the region so delineated.
This might have a few uses apart from the 4 cyrillic characters ``with vertical stroke´´ which could be composed from this character.
