Greek Small Letter Omega With Dasia And Ypogegrammeni Letter Meaning
ᾡ (Unicode U+1FA1) is the Greek small letter omega with dasia and ypogegrammeni. In polytonic Greek writing, omega letters can carry diacritics that affect pronunciation or how the text is normalized. The “dasia” indicates rough breathing, while “ypogegrammeni” is a subscript-style diacritic that appears below the base letter. Because this is a precomposed character, it’s typically used when you need the exact combined form rather than assembling separate marks. You may encounter it in editions of ancient Greek, scholarly typography, or digital transcriptions that preserve orthographic detail.
