U+1FE5 "ῥ" Greek Small Letter Rho with Dasia Unicode Character

U+1FE5 "ῥ" Greek Small Letter Rho with Dasia is a historical Greek letter used in ancient polytonic orthography. It consists of a lowercase rho combined with a dasia, or rough breathing mark, which indicates that the consonant should be aspirated, pronounced like an English "r" followed by a puff of air, similar to the "rh" in "rhythm." This character was primarily employed in classical and medieval Greek texts, often at the beginning of words, to distinguish aspirated rho from its unaspirated counterpart, and it remains of interest to scholars and typographers working with ancient Greek language and manuscripts.
