Hypodiastole
Hypodiastole (left). Note the difference from a comma (right).
The hypodiastole (
enotikon) showed a group of letters should be read together as a single word, and the hypodiastole showed that they should be taken separately. Compare "ὅ,τι" ("whatever") to "ὅτι" ("...that...").[2]
The hypodiastole was similar in appearance to the
ISO/IEC 10646 standard (U+2E12) (⸒), exists for the hypodiastole but is intended only to reproduce its historical occurrence in Greek texts.[2]
