Greek Small Letter Eta With Dasia And Oxia Letter Meaning
ἥ is the Greek small letter eta (η) with dasia (rough breathing) and oxia (acute accent). In polytonic Greek, dasia indicates a rough breathing sound at the start of a syllable, while oxia marks the syllable with an acute pitch or stress. You’ll most often encounter ἥ in texts that preserve historical Greek orthography, including dictionaries, language-learning materials, and scholarly editions. When typing, the symbol is typically used exactly where standard Greek spelling and diacritics require both features together, not as a decorative mark.
