U+1F1B "" Greek Capital Letter Epsilon with Dasia and Varia is a precomposed polytonic Greek letter used in ancient and liturgical Greek orthography to represent the vowel epsilon (Εε). It combines a rough breathing mark (dasia, indicating an /h/ sound) and a grave accent (varia, indicating a low or falling tone) over the capital epsilon, reflecting the complex pitch and aspiration system of classical Greek. This character is primarily encountered in scholarly editions of ancient texts, such as those by Homer or the Greek New Testament, where accurate diacritical representation is essential for pronunciation and grammatical interpretation.
