U+1F65 "ὥ" Greek Small Letter Omega with Dasia and Oxia Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ὥ
U+1F65 "ὥ" Greek Small Letter Omega with Dasia and Oxia is a polytonic Greek letter used in ancient and liturgical texts, combining the long vowel omega with two diacritical marks: dasia, which indicates a rough breathing or an initial "h" sound, and oxia, which marks a high pitch or acute accent. This character represents a specific pronunciation in classical Greek, where it would be transcribed as "hṓ" with the omega carrying both aspiration and a rising tone. It is commonly encountered in edited editions of Homer, the Greek New Testament, and other ancient works where precise accentuation and breathing are preserved for scholarly or ecclesiastical purposes.
