In the polytonic orthography of Ancient Greek, the rough breathing (Template:Lang-grc or Template:Lang daseîa; Template:Lang-la) character is a diacritical mark used to indicate the presence of an Template:IPAslink sound before a vowel, diphthong, or after rho. It remained in the polytonic orthography even after the Hellenistic period, when the sound disappeared from the Greek language. In the monotonic orthography of Modern Greek phonology, in use since 1982, it is not used at all.
