U+1FAA "ᾪ" Greek Capital Letter Omega with Psili and Varia and Prosgegrammeni Unicode Character
U+1FAA "ᾪ" Greek Capital Letter Omega with Psili and Varia and Prosgegrammeni is a historic and polytonic Greek character used in ancient and liturgical texts to represent a capital omega that combines a smooth breathing mark (psili), a grave accent (varia), and an iota subscript represented as an adscript (prosgegrammeni) written beside the letter. This character appears only in uppercase and is a specific precomposed form that encodes three diacritical marks and a subscript iota onto a single code point, primarily for compatibility with legacy encoding systems or for precise representation in scholarly editions of classical works. Its use is almost exclusively academic or ecclesiastical, as modern Greek does not employ polytonic diacritics in standard writing.
