U+1F13 "ἓ" Greek Small Letter Epsilon with Dasia and Varia Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ἓ
U+1F13 "ἓ" Greek Small Letter Epsilon with Dasia and Varia is a precomposed character used in the polytonic system of writing Ancient Greek, combining a lowercase epsilon (ε) with two diacritical marks: the dasia (a rough breathing mark, indicating an initial /h/ sound) and the varia (a grave accent, which historically signaled a lower pitch or stress on the vowel). This character is part of the Greek Extended block and is employed in scholarly editions of classical texts to represent the precise accentuation and pronunciation of Greek words, such as at the beginning of a word like ἓξ (hex, meaning "six").
