U+1F2E "Ἦ" Greek Capital Letter Eta with Psili and Perispomeni Unicode Character
U+1F2E "Ἦ" Greek Capital Letter Eta with Psili and Perispomeni is a precomposed polytonic Greek letter representing an eta (Η) with a psili, indicating a smooth breathing mark, and a perispomeni, a circumflex accent that marks a rising and falling pitch in Ancient Greek. This character is used in scholarly editions of classical texts to denote a specific pronunciation and grammatical function, often occurring in words where the eta is the initial vowel or part of a diphthong that requires both the smooth breathing and the circumflex tone. Codified in the Unicode standard to support the accurate digital representation of historical Greek orthography, U+1F2E is part of the Greek and Coptic block, ensuring that ancient manuscripts and modern linguistic works can be faithfully transcribed without resorting to combining character sequences.
