Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+1F5F "" Greek Capital Letter Upsilon with Dasia and Perispomeni is a classical Greek letter used in ancient and polytonic Greek orthography, combining an uppercase Upsilon with two diacritical marks: the dasia, which indicates a rough breathing sound (like an 'h') at the beginning of a word, and the perispomeni, which marks a circumflex accent indicating a rising and falling pitch on the same syllable. This character is a specific precomposed form that represents a single grapheme in the Unicode standard for compatibility with historical Greek texts, often appearing in words where the vowel upsilon initiates a word with both aspiration and a circumflex tone, such as in personal names or literary works from the classical era. Its use today is largely confined to scholarly editions, liturgical documents, or linguistic studies of ancient Greek, as modern Greek has simplified its accentuation system.
