U+0385 "΅" Greek Dialytika Tonos is a combining diacritical mark used in modern Greek writing, specifically to indicate both a diaeresis (dialytika) and an acute accent (tonos) over a vowel, most commonly the letter iota. It is applied to vowels in words where the sound requires a pause or separate pronunciation between two adjacent vowels while also marking stress, such as in the Greek word "ΐ" (pronounced like "ee"). This character is distinct from a simple diaeresis or accent alone and is encoded as a precomposed character for compatibility with established Greek typographic standards.
