Several pictogram puzzle memes have appeared on social media that say the "Greek Letter 'Delta' is Pyramid shaped... and the Phoenician Letter for 'Omicron' is 'Ayin' whose Symbol just happens to be an 'EYE." Together they create, the claims say, the symbol for the Illuminati.
Not exactly true. Without getting into all the linguistic details, the symbol for Omicron or ayin is a circle.
Two Greek letters after Delta were skipped for reasons unconnected to the Illuminati, a spokesman for the World Health Organization told the New York Times.
This fact brief is responsive to conversations such as this one.
