Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1FB3 "ᾳ" Greek Small Letter Alpha with Ypogegrammeni is a composite glyph used in the polytonic orthography of the Greek language, representing the alpha vowel combined with an iota subscript (a small iota written underneath the letter). This character typically appears in ancient or liturgical texts to indicate a long diphthong or a specific grammatical context, such as in the dative case of certain nouns. It is distinct from a simple alpha because the ypogegrammeni (meaning "underwritten") marks a historical iota that is no longer pronounced in modern Greek but remains important for proper textual representation and scholarly accuracy.
