Greek Small Letter Eta With Ypogegrammeni Letter Meaning
ῃ is the lowercase form of Greek letter eta (η) with ypogegrammeni, a diacritic-like mark placed underneath. In Unicode it is the distinct character “GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH YPOGEGRAMMENI” (U+1FC3), so it behaves like a single letter for text processing, searching, and rendering. This character is most often needed when you want to match a specific scholarly or typographic form of Greek, including editions or transcriptions that preserve the presence and placement of the ypogegrammeni. Because it’s a dedicated Unicode character, it’s better to copy ῃ directly rather than simulate it with separate combining marks in most workflows.
