U+1FF7 "ῷ" Greek Small Letter Omega with Perispomeni and Ypogegrammeni Unicode Character
U+1FF7 "ῷ" Greek Small Letter Omega with Perispomeni and Ypogegrammeni is a composite character used in the polytonic orthography of Ancient Greek, combining the long omega vowel with a perispomeni (a circumflex accent indicating a rising and falling pitch) and an ypogegrammeni (an iota subscript, written as a small iota below the letter, which represents a long final vowel that was historically followed by an unpronounced iota). This character appears primarily in ancient and liturgical Greek texts, such as in words where the omega is in a genitive or dative singular form with a long vowel, and it reflects the complex system of diacritical marks that were developed to denote vowel length, stress, and articulation in Classical and Koine Greek. In modern Greek, this character is obsolete, as the monotonic orthography no longer uses the perispomeni or iota subscript, making U+1FF7 a specialized glyph primarily of interest to scholars, typographers, and editors working with historical Gre
