About this character

U+1FBE (ι) is GREEK PROSGEGRAMMENI, a lowercase letter in the Greek Extended block. It belongs to the Greek script. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

Its uppercase form is U+0399 Ι.

It is a canonical singleton: Unicode treats it as identical to U+03B9 ι, 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.
