If you mean Ά, that would be a tonos or an oxia, depending on whether it's modern or ancient Greek*, the HTML entity you want has to be done as a Unicode one for tonos: Ά or for oxia: Ά.

It looks like the first alpha in the screenshot you provide also has one of the breathing marks, so maybe you also want Ἀ, which is Ἀ for "Greek Capital Letter A with Psili" or Ἁ Ἁ "With Dasia".

ETA: this link on Computing with Accents, Symbols & Foreign Scripts might also be useful.
