ὢ
U+1F62 "ὢ" Greek Small Letter Omega with Psili and Varia is a polytonic Greek letter used in ancient and liturgical Greek writing. It consists of the lowercase omega combined with two diacritical marks: the psili, which indicates a smooth breathing (no initial /h/ sound) and is shaped like a tiny comma, and the varia, a grave accent that marks a lowered or falling pitch. This character specifically belongs to the Greek Extended block, which contains precomposed forms for polytonic orthography, and it represents a single typographic unit for accurate representation of classical Greek text in digital environments.
