Greek Small Reversed Lunate Sigma Symbol Letter Meaning
ͻ (Unicode U+037B) is a Greek small sigma variant with a reversed, lunate-like shape. Visually, it resembles a compact “sigma” form, but it is not the same character as the standard Greek lowercase sigma (σ) or final sigma (ς). Because it is a distinct Unicode character, it matters for correct text rendering, typography, and precise copying in documents, design assets, or language/linguistics work where a particular glyph form is required. Outside of specialized typography, it may appear mainly as a symbol chosen for its specific look rather than a widely standardized everyday meaning.
Common uses
- •Typography: choosing a specific sigma-style glyph that differs from σ or ς
- •Copy/paste in multilingual documents where the exact Unicode character is required
- •Design and logo text that needs a compact, distinctive “sigma” shape
- •Linguistics or manuscript transcription workflows that preserve character variants
- •Developer work: inserting the exact character in UI text, icons, or symbol sets
