U+1FD3 "ΐ" Greek Small Letter Iota with Dialytika and Oxia Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1FD3 "ΐ" Greek Small Letter Iota with Dialytika and Oxia is a precomposed character in the Greek extended block, combining the Greek small letter iota (ι) with two diacritical marks: a dialytika (diaeresis) placed above the letter to indicate that the iota is pronounced separately from a preceding vowel, and an oxia (acute accent) that marks stress or high pitch in ancient Greek polytonic orthography. This character is used in scholarly editions of ancient Greek texts, particularly when a stressed iota follows another vowel in words like "προϊσχύω" (to prevail), and it is encoded as a convenience for backward compatibility with older Greek encoding standards, though modern Unicode typically recommends representing such forms as a base iota followed by combining diacritics.
