Greek Capital Letter Eta With Psili Letter Meaning
Ἠ is the Greek capital letter eta (Η) combined with the psili (smooth breathing) diacritic in polytonic Greek. In practice, it appears in texts that use historical Greek orthography, where breathing marks are written explicitly rather than implied. The psili indicates “smooth breathing,” which is part of traditional pronunciation spelling conventions. When you’re preparing editions, studying classical/polytonic Greek, or creating typography that must match the original spelling conventions, using the exact precomposed character (U+1F28) can be important for correctness and consistency across fonts and platforms.
