U+1F1C "Ἔ" Greek Capital Letter Epsilon with Psili and Oxia is a historic Greek letter used in polytonic orthography, combining a smooth breathing mark (psili) and an acute accent (oxia) over the capital epsilon. It represents the initial vowel sound in ancient Greek words like "Ἔρως" (Eros), indicating both the absence of rough breathing and a rising pitch accent. This character is part of the Greek and Coptic block in Unicode and is essential for accurately rendering classical texts and inscriptions, though it is rarely used in modern Greek writing.
