In the International Telecommunication Union phonetic alphabet, what is the code word for the letter R?

The ITU phonetic alphabet uses the word "Romeo" to represent the letter R. This ensures clear and universally recognized spelling of call signs and operational details across global radio networks. The word "Roger" is a widely used proword indicating that a message has been received and understood, but it is not the ITU phonetic for R. "Radio" and "Romania" are simply incorrect, though sometimes improperly substituted by operators improvising their own spelling words.
