U+1F2A "" Greek Capital Letter Eta with Psili and Varia is a polytonic Greek letter used in ancient Greek text to represent the long vowel eta (Η, η) with two diacritical marks. The psili, a smooth breathing mark, indicates that the vowel is pronounced without an initial aspiration, while the varia, or grave accent, signifies a lower or falling pitch on that syllable. This character is part of the Unicode Greek Extended block and is specifically employed in scholarly editions of classical Greek literature and inscriptions where precise accentuation and breathing are preserved for accurate phonetic and grammatical analysis.
