Greek Capital Letter Alpha With Psili And Oxia Letter Meaning
Ἄ (Unicode U+1F0C) is the Greek capital letter Alpha combined with two diacritics: psili (rough breathing) and oxia (acute accent). In Greek typography and digital text, these marks matter because they change how the letter is written and interpreted according to orthographic rules. You’ll most often encounter this character in Ancient or polytonic Greek contexts, such as edited texts, linguistic examples, and educational materials. If you’re matching a transcription or preparing publications, using the exact precomposed character (rather than manually combining marks) helps ensure consistency across fonts and platforms.
