I'm pretty sure that my version is correct because I checked it against the French original
and a Greek dictionary. As kalwisti has already pointed out, it's the uppercase version of ἀνάγκη (ananke) and if you look at the two alphas with a Unicode editor you'll find out that it contains the following letters:
ἀ GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI (U+1F00)
ά GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH TONOS (U+03AC)
And HarryT is, of course, also right in that the capital Greek letters usually aren't written with accents above letters, but Hugo decided to write them with accents anyway.
(My version contained the uppercase versions of alpha with psili/tonos.)
