U+1FBE "ι" Greek Prosgegrammeni Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1FBE "ι" Greek Prosgegrammeni is a historic and typographically unique mark from the Greek script, functioning as an adscript iota that attaches to a preceding vowel but, unlike the standard iota subscript, sits on the line rather than beneath it. Represented by a small, smooth-breathing-like symbol, it appears in ancient Greek texts to indicate a long vowel where the iota has become silent or lost, and its Unicode classification as a modifier letter rather than a standard spacing character can cause confusion in modern rendering and search systems.
