No, there isn't a widely recognized single sign for Greek letters like Omega in everyday ASL. They are typically fingerspelled. While specialized settings like advanced math might use specific classifiers, fingerspelling is the standard and most understood method.
As a beginner, always focus on clarity over speed. It is much better to fingerspell slowly and accurately than fast and sloppily. Your speed will naturally increase as your muscle memory improves with the ASL alphabet.
