U+1FEF "`" Greek Varia Unicode Character

U+1FEF "`" Greek Varia is a combining diacritical mark used in ancient and polytonic Greek orthography, representing a high-to-low pitch accent on a vowel. It is visually similar to a grave accent but is historically distinct, often appearing on the final syllable of a word to indicate a falling tone in classical Greek pronunciation. This character is encoded separately from the standard grave accent in Unicode to preserve its specific linguistic function in Greek texts.
