GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA
Overview
Two diacritics combine on a single vowel in U+1F04: psili, the smooth breathing that marks the absence of initial aspiration, and oxia, the acute accent marking pitch. Ancient Greek orthography routinely stacks a breathing and an accent on the same letter, and the Greek Extended block encodes each attested combination as one precomposed character. Canonical decomposition unpacks it into alpha plus two combining marks, so NFD and NFC forms of the same word compare as equal. The general category is Ll (letter, lowercase). Monotonic modern Greek dispenses with breathings entirely, which is why this range serves chiefly classical and liturgical texts.
