U+1F63 "ὣ" Greek Small Letter Omega with Dasia and Varia Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ὣ
U+1F63 "ὣ" Greek Small Letter Omega with Dasia and Varia is a polytonic Greek letter used in ancient and liturgical Greek texts, representing the omega vowel (ω) combined with two diacritical marks: the dasia, which indicates a rough breathing (like an 'h' sound at the beginning of a word), and the varia, which denotes a grave accent. This character appears in words that require both a rough breath and a low or falling pitch accent on the final long vowel, often found in classical manuscripts or scholarly editions of Greek poetry and drama. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that historical and linguistic texts can be accurately represented in digital form, preserving the precise phonetic and tonal nuances of the ancient language.
