Greek Small Letter Alpha With Perispomeni And Ypogegrammeni Letter Meaning
ᾷ is the Greek small letter alpha with two diacritics: Perispomeni and Ypogegrammeni. In Unicode, it’s encoded specifically as U+1FB7, so it’s distinct from ordinary alpha (α) and from alpha with simpler accent marks. You typically encounter this character in materials that preserve the full diacritic system, such as edited Ancient/Koine Greek text, academic transcriptions, and font or encoding tests. When you need the exact glyph for a word (not an approximation), using this single precomposed character helps keep spelling and accenting consistent across platforms.
Common uses
- •Copy/paste for accurate Ancient or Koine Greek transcription
- •Typography and proofreading when diacritics must match exactly
- •Academic notes, citations, or edited text where accent marks matter
- •Testing Unicode font coverage for precomposed Greek characters
- •Labeling or annotating documents that follow a strict diacritic standard
