Unicode Version 17.0
ὄ
U+1F44 "ὄ" Greek Small Letter Omicron with Psili and Oxia is a precomposed glyph from the Greek Extended block, representing the omicron letter combined with two diacritical marks: psili, which indicates a smooth breathing mark, and oxia, the acute accent used to signify rising pitch or stress in Ancient Greek. This character is part of the polytonic Greek system, historically employed in classical texts to denote precise pronunciation, though it is rarely used in modern monotonic Greek orthography. Its encoding allows for accurate digital representation of ancient manuscripts and scholarly works that require these detailed phonetic indications.
