U+1FEB "Ύ" Greek Capital Letter Upsilon with Oxia Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1FEB "Ύ" Greek Capital Letter Upsilon with Oxia is a precomposed character used in polytonic Greek orthography, representing an uppercase upsilon (Υ) combined with an oxia, or acute accent, which historically denoted a high pitch in ancient Greek. This character is distinct from the standard uppercase upsilon with a tonos (Ύ, U+03CE) used in modern monotonic Greek, and its primary use today is in scholarly texts, classical literature editions, and liturgical works that require the preservation of ancient Greek accentuation. It belongs to the Greek Extended block of Unicode and is encoded as a single code point for compatibility with legacy systems and for precise rendering in digital typography.
