Description

The Unicode character ϵ, or U+03F5, is known as the "Greek Lunate Epsilon Symbol". It belongs to the "Greek and Coptic" block and falls under the "Letter, Lowercase" category in the Unicode standard. This character is a variation of the Greek lowercase letter epsilon (ε), but it's written in a form known as "lunate" because it lacks the horizontal bar, making it appear similar to a crescent or half-moon. It can be used in the context of Greek text or in scientific and mathematical texts where Greek letters are commonly employed as symbols.
