U+10179 "𐅹" Greek Year Sign is a specialized symbol from the Ancient Greek Numbers block, used in classical epigraphical and historical texts to denote a specific year in Greek numeral systems, often functioning as an abbreviation for the Greek word for year when combined with numeric values to mark dates on inscriptions, coins, or manuscripts. Its form resembles an uppercase epsilon with a horizontal stroke or a modified letter koppa, and it belongs to a set of ancient numeric and accounting symbols that were employed before the adoption of widespread standard numerals. This sign is primarily of interest to scholars deciphering Greek historical documents and is rarely seen in modern digital contexts except in specialized academic fonts.
