U+1F60 "ὠ" Greek Small Letter Omega with Psili Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1F60 "ὠ" Greek Small Letter Omega with Psili is a polytonic Greek letter representing the long omega vowel with a psili, or smooth breathing mark, that indicates the absence of an initial aspiration sound in ancient Greek. This character is used in scholarly editions of classical texts to preserve the precise pronunciation and accentuation of words, particularly at the beginning of a syllable or word where the breathing mark clarifies whether a rough or smooth sound should be applied. It belongs to the Greek and Coptic block of Unicode and is distinct from the standard Greek omega without diacritics, playing a key role in accurately rendering ancient Greek orthography for linguistic, historical, and theological studies.
