It represents the Greek uppercase letter Heta, which is used in the Epeian dialect of Ancient Greek. This particular letter holds significance for scholars and historians who study ancient languages and textual artifacts. Although it may not be frequently used in modern Greek, Heta has been crucial in deciphering and translating archaic texts, providing insight into the historical linguistic development and cultural context of the time. Its inclusion in the Unicode system facilitates its digital use for typography, academic research, and preservation of ancient textual heritage.

How to type the Ͱ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0880 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character Ͱ has the Unicode code point U+0370. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0080 to 0x07ff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format: 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0370 to binary: 00000011 01110000. Those are the payload bits.

  3. Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:

    Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
