Greek Small Letter Rho With Psili Letter Meaning
ῤ (U+1FE4) is the Greek small letter rho combined with a psili (rough breathing) mark. In Greek writing, breathing marks affect how the letter should be pronounced and can be required for faithful representation of classical or formally edited Greek text. Because this character is a single Unicode code point, it’s useful when you want the breathing mark to stay attached to rho during copying, exporting, and styling. Use it when the exact character is expected, such as in scholarly text, Greek-language content that includes breathing marks, or typographic reproduction.
