I am working on Peter Ibbetson by George du Maurier for the MobileRead library, and have come across a Greek word which du Maurier makes a fuss of. Project Gutenberg transliterates the word as 'Anagkae'.

In an original version of the book on the Internet Archive the word shows as the attached Capture.JPG. I made this word in HTML as Αναγκη but this does not have the initial single quote mark or the accent over the small alpha.

Is it necessary to have the single quote mark and the accent? If so, how could I do that?

What does the word mean?
