ℹ️ About
The Greek Capital Lunate Sigma Symbol (Ϲ) is an uppercase character used primarily in historical, liturgical, and paleographic contexts. It is a variant of the standard Greek Sigma (Σ). The “lunate” form derives its name from its crescent-moon shape, which was common in the Greek uncial script and the Byzantine era. In modern typography, it is often paired with the lowercase lunate sigma (ϲ, U+03F2).
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with C (Latin Capital Letter C, U+0043), which looks identical in many fonts.
