How to Write Omicron Symbol (ο) in LaTeX

In LaTeX, you can write the omicron symbol using the o command for the lowercase omicron (ο). However, note that the omicron symbol is not commonly used in LaTeX as it looks similar to the Latin letter ‘o’.

The uppercase omicron (Ο) is represented by the Latin letter ‘O’.

The following examples show how to write the omicron symbol in LaTeX.

How to Write the Omicron Symbol in Text

We can use the o command to write the lowercase omicron symbol in LaTeX document for text.

Suppose we want to write the omicron symbol in the text.

We can use the following LaTeX code to do so:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

This is an example of using the omicron symbol o in a sentence.

\end{document}

Output: 👇️

This is an example of using the omicron symbol ο in a sentence.

In this example, we use the \omicron command to display the lowercase omicron symbol in the text.

How to Write the Omicron Symbol in Mathematical Expressions

For mathematical expressions, we can use the \omicron command to ensure proper formatting.

Suppose we would like to write mathematical expressions that contain the omicron symbol.

We can use the following LaTeX code to do so:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

An inline mathematical expression: \( \alpha + \beta = o \).

A displayed mathematical expression:
\[
\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = o^2
\]

\end{document}

Output: 👇️

In this example, we use the \omicron command to denote the omicron symbol in both inline and displayed mathematical expressions.

Conclusion

We can use the o command for both text and mathematical expressions. This ensures that the omicron symbol is properly formatted and displayed in LaTeX document.
