The Unicode charts call these "psili" and "dasia." I suppose these are
modern Greek forms.
A mnemonic for people who can't remember which is which but know some
patristic theology: think of psilos as minimal or stripped-down, as in
denunciations of the teaching (psilanthropism) that Jesus was a mere human
(PSILOS ANQRWPOS), i.e., not divine.
