    Greetings,

    From UnicodeData.txt, 'prosgegrammeni' is equated to 'small letter iota', see below.
    1FBE;GREEK PROSGEGRAMMENI;Ll;0;L;03B9;;;;N;;;0399;;0399
    03B9;GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA;Ll;0;L;;;;;N;;;0399;;0399

    From the Greek Extended table, see below, the following three characters are equated to ALPHA/ETA/OMEGA plus 0345, not plus 1FBE or even 03B9!
    1FBC;GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ALPHA WITH PROSGEGRAMMENI;Lt;0;L;0391 0345;;;;N;;;;1FB3;
    1FCC;GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ETA WITH PROSGEGRAMMENI;Lt;0;L;0397 0345;;;;N;;;;1FC3;
    1FFC;GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMEGA WITH PROSGEGRAMMENI;Lt;0;L;03A9 0345;;;;N;;;;1FF3;

    Why is 'iota subscript' (below) used as a substitute for 'iota adscript' in the above cases?
    0345;COMBINING GREEK YPOGEGRAMMENI;Mn;240;NSM;;;;;N;*;;0399;;0399

    The character 1FBE, in the Greek Extended table of Unicode 5.0, is illustrated below the base line, and appears as if it is 0020+0345
