What is the likelihood that a Greek article about electronics would use the Ohm sign when the Omega is right there on the keyboard?

English language physics texts routinely use the proper symbols, despite the fact that e.g. V is right there on the keyboard.

Omega is the proper symbol for Ohms. English-language physics texts use V when they're denominating in volts, too.
