ℹ️ About

The Greek Letter Archaic Koppa (Ϙ) is an ancestral form of the Greek letter Koppa, used in early alphabets before it was largely phased out in favor of Kappa for the /k/ sound. Historically, it represented the /k/ sound before back vowels. In the modern Unicode context, this uppercase variant is essential for epigraphy, historical linguistics, and scholarly digital preservation.

⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with ϙ (Lowercase Archaic Koppa, U+03D9) or Q (Latin Q).
