Greek Psili And Perispomeni Letter
῏ (U+1FCF) is the Greek Psili and Perispomeni diacritic used in polytonic Greek writing.
U+1FCF
The character ῏ is a Greek diacritical mark used in polytonic Greek typography. It combines a breathing-related mark (psili) with a perispomeni accent. You can copy it directly or insert it via Unicode and encoding escapes.
Greek Psili And Perispomeni Letter Meaning
῏ is the Unicode character named “GREEK PSILI AND PERISPOMENI” (U+1FCF). In polytonic Greek, psili is associated with the spirit/breathing component, and perispomeni refers to an accent pattern used in traditional Greek orthography. As a diacritic, it is typically used together with Greek letters (for example, after a vowel/letter it modifies) rather than as a standalone punctuation-like character. If you’re working with Unicode text, fonts, or rendering systems, treat it as a combining diacritical symbol and verify how your chosen font displays it.
Common uses
- •Typing or proofing polytonic Greek text with correct traditional diacritics
- •Adding diacritics in digital humanities, philology, and academic transcription workflows
- •Designing Greek typography samples or heading styles that require historical accent marks
- •Correctly copying Unicode characters for documentation, glossaries, or references
- •Validating Unicode rendering in browsers, editors, and publishing pipelines
