U+1F6E "Ὦ" Greek Capital Letter Omega with Psili and Perispomeni Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ὦ
U+1F6E "Ὦ" Greek Capital Letter Omega with Psili and Perispomeni is a historical polytonic Greek letter used in ancient and liturgical texts to represent a long omega sound with a smooth breathing mark, known as psili, and a circumflex accent, known as perispomeni, over the vowel. This character is part of the Greek Extended block and is employed primarily in scholarly editions of classical works or in religious writings to denote precise pronunciation and grammatical features, such as a specific pitch accent pattern on a word-final omega. Because polytonic orthography is no longer standard in modern Greek, this letter is largely confined to specialized linguistic, theological, or philological contexts.
