Unicode Version 17.0
ώ
U+1F7D "ώ" Greek Small Letter Omega with Oxia is a polytonic Greek letter that represents the lowercase omega with an acute accent mark, known as an oxia, which indicates a high pitch in ancient Greek pronunciation. This character is used in scholarly texts, liturgical writings, and editions of classical literature where the precise tonal system of Ancient Greek must be preserved, distinguishing it from the monotonic modern Greek system that uses a simpler stress mark. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital compatibility for historical and linguistic documentation, allowing accurate representation of texts such as the New Testament or Homeric epics where this accentuation appears.
