GREEK CAPITAL LETTER UPSILON WITH DASIA
Overview
U+1F59 is capital upsilon carrying the rough breathing, and the arrangement of the code points around it is informative: the positions that would hold capital upsilon with a smooth breathing are left unassigned. That gap is deliberate rather than an oversight, reflecting the fact that a word-initial upsilon in Ancient Greek is aspirated, so the smooth-breathing capital does not occur in the orthography the block was designed to represent. Unicode assigns the general category Lu (letter, uppercase) and a canonical decomposition into base upsilon plus a combining breathing mark. The lowercase counterpart is U+1F51.
