Greek Small Letter Alpha With Dasia And Perispomeni Letter Meaning
ἇ is the Greek small letter alpha carrying two diacritic features: dasia and perispomeni. In polytonic Greek orthography, the dasia indicates rough breathing, while the perispomeni marks a specific pitch/tonal pattern on the syllable. This means the character is not just a plain “alpha” but a fully specified, precomposed letter that represents how the vowel should be pronounced and handled in properly marked Greek text. Use it when you need accurate diacritics for classical/polytonic writing, scholarly transcription, or typography that preserves original spellings.
