Greek Capital Letter Eta With Psili And Oxia And Prosgegrammeni Letter Meaning
ᾜ is the Greek capital letter eta combined with three diacritic marks: psili (rough breathing), oxia (acute accent), and prosgegrammeni (a prosgegrammeni/“written with an iota” type mark used in certain historical spellings). In practice, the character is used to represent a specific phonetic and orthographic form found in classical or scholarly Greek typography. Because it includes multiple diacritics, it may look unusual compared to the standard Greek capital Eta (Η). When you need faithful reproduction—such as in references, academic texts, or font/encoding work—use this exact character rather than approximating with plain Eta plus separate marks.
