U+1FD2 "ῒ" Greek Small Letter Iota with Dialytika and Varia is a precomposed character in the Greek script used for polytonic orthography, representing the letter iota (ι) combined with two diacritical marks: a dialytika (diaeresis) placed above the letter, and a varia (grave accent) written over the dialytika. This combination indicates that the iota is to be pronounced as a separate syllable from a preceding vowel, while the grave accent denotes a specific tonal pitch pattern in Ancient Greek, typically occurring on a word's final syllable before a pause or following word. In modern textual contexts, it is rarely used, as Modern Greek employs monotonic orthography, but it remains essential for accurately reproducing historical or liturgical Greek texts.
