U+1F26 "ἦ" Greek Small Letter Eta with Psili and Perispomeni Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ἦ
U+1F26 "ἦ" Greek Small Letter Eta with Psili and Perispomeni is a polytonic Greek letter that combines the eta vowel (η) with two diacritical marks: the psili, indicating a smooth breathing mark, and the perispomeni, a circumflex accent denoting a rising and falling pitch. This character is used in ancient Greek textual scholarship to represent a specific tonal pronunciation and breath pattern on the long eta sound, often appearing in classical literature and liturgical contexts. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves the precise orthography required for accurate representation of historical Greek manuscripts and modern scholarly editions.
