Source: Browser Default
U+1F2B "Ἣ" Greek Capital Letter Eta with Dasia and Varia is a precomposed character used in polytonic Greek orthography to represent the eta vowel (Η, η) combined with two diacritical marks: the dasia, indicating a rough breathing or an initial /h/ sound, and the varia, a grave accent marking a low or falling pitch in ancient Greek pronunciation. This character is part of the Greek and Coptic block and is typically employed in scholarly texts, classical editions, or liturgical writings where precise accentuation and breathing are required to convey historical phonetics and grammar. Its existence in Unicode allows for accurate digital representation of ancient Greek texts without needing separate combining characters.
