About this character

U+1FBB (Ά) is GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ALPHA WITH OXIA, an uppercase letter in the Greek Extended block. It belongs to the Greek script. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

Its lowercase form is U+1F71 ά.

It is a canonical singleton: Unicode treats it as identical to U+0386 Ά, and every normalization form (NFC, NFD, NFKC, NFKD) replaces it with that character. Text that must round-trip exactly should avoid it. See the normalization guide.
