U+03AF "ί" Greek Small Letter Iota with Tonos Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+03AF "ί" Greek Small Letter Iota with Tonos is a lowercase vowel used in the Greek alphabet, specifically representing the letter iota when it carries a tonos, which is a stress accent mark. This character is part of the Greek and Coptic block and is essential for accurately writing modern Greek, as the tonos indicates the stressed syllable in a word, distinguishing it from the plain iota (U+03B9) used in unstressed positions. Its visual form resembles a small vertical line with a diacritical stroke above it, and it should not be confused with similar-looking characters like the Latin letter i with an acute accent, as they belong to different writing systems and have distinct Unicode code points.
