U+03FF "Ͽ" Greek Capital Reversed Dotted Lunate Sigma Symbol is a rarely used typographic variant within the Greek script, primarily of interest to historical linguists and scholars of ancient epigraphy. It represents a reversed form of the lunate sigma (which itself resembles the Latin letter C) with an added dot, and it was employed in certain archaic or technical writing systems, such as the Carian alphabet or as a numerical symbol in early Greek numeral notation. Despite its formal encoding in Unicode, this character sees virtually no use in modern Greek or standard text, existing mainly as a legacy symbol for specialized academic documentation of ancient inscriptions or alphabetic derivatives.
