Source: Browser Default
U+1F71 "ά" Greek Small Letter Alpha with Oxia is a precomposed character representing the Greek letter alpha ( α) combined with an acute accent mark known as an oxia, which indicates a high pitch or stress in Ancient Greek polytonic orthography. This character is distinct from the modern monotonic Greek system, where the same sound is typically represented by the letter alpha with a simple tonos (accent), and it is used primarily in scholarly, liturgical, or historical texts that preserve the traditional Greek accentuation.
