Greek Capital Letter Epsilon With Dasia And Varia Letter Meaning
Ἓ is the Greek capital letter epsilon combined with two diacritics: dasia (rough breathing) and varia (grave accent). In polytonic Greek orthography, these marks provide information about how the letter is pronounced and how stress is indicated. The character commonly appears in academic or carefully typeset Greek text, including classical citations, linguistic materials, and texts that preserve traditional spelling and accentuation. Because it’s a single precomposed Unicode character, it’s often easier to copy/paste or use Unicode escapes than to assemble the letter and diacritics manually.
