Greek Small Letter Alpha With Psili And Oxia And Ypogegrammeni Letter Meaning
ᾄ (Greek small letter alpha with psili and oxia and ypogegrammeni) is a polytonic Greek lowercase character. It represents the letter alpha (α) carrying multiple diacritics in one code point: psili (rough breathing), oxia (acute accent), and ypogegrammeni (a subscript-like marking). Because these diacritics are encoded as part of the character, the symbol is useful for precise transcription, digital typography, and accurate text matching. It’s typically seen in materials that preserve classical or historical Greek orthography rather than everyday monotonic modern Greek.
