Sampi (uppercase Ϡ, lowercase ϡ) is an obsolete letter of the Greek alphabet and has a numeric value of 900 when used as a mathematical character. It may have been derived from the older letter san. The name "sampi" seems to come from [o]sàn pî: "like pi." Another name formerly used for this archaic letter was Disigma because of the phoneme it represented, /ss/ or /ks/.
