Unicode Version 17.0

Ϟ

U+03DE "Ϟ" Greek Letter Koppa is a numeric symbol from the ancient Greek alphabet, originally used as a letter representing the sound /k/ before back vowels, but it later fell out of use as a standard alphabetic character and was retained primarily as a numeral for the number 90 in the ancient Greek numeral system. In modern contexts, this character is sometimes used in scholarly or typographic works to denote the ancient letter or its numeric value, and it can appear in historical or linguistic texts, but it is not part of the standard modern Greek alphabet.
