U+1F55 "ὕ" Greek Small Letter Upsilon with Dasia and Oxia is a historical letter used in polytonic Greek orthography, combining the vowel upsilon with two diacritical marks: the dasia (a rough breathing mark indicating an initial /h/ sound in ancient Greek) and the oxia (an acute accent denoting a high pitch or stress). This character appears in classical and liturgical texts to represent a specific phonetic and tonal nuance that was essential in ancient Greek pronunciation and poetic meter.
