You've opened Pandora's box here, Bobby.

Any ETA on getting Chinese, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari, Thai, Brahmi, Aramaic, Pahlavi, Phoenician...

My thoughts also, Steve you forgot Kharosthi, Sumerian, Sanskrit, and Hebrew.

That is a good final sigma, Bobby, and at least some of the time might serve as a numeral form for digamma. However there is also a letter form for the latter that appears on coins that looks rather different. I will try to track one down.

I made a few improvements. You can now go back and forth between preview and edit, and can now copy the text with a click.

@bobby, if you have some free time, how about adding the letter U with an umlaut? I'm fine with continuing to Anglicize this to UE, but it would be nice to have the option. To a lesser extent A umlaut and O umlaut would be useful too, although for some reason German city names seem to have more of the letter you than these other two vowels.

There is, and if you are in the mood to add them also, then that would be super-cool. If not, then even having just the upper case would be great.

Thanks.
Will be a very useful help in the identification of ancient Greek coins.
This tool should help in the expansion of interest in the ancient Greek series, just like the publication of a new book on American coins does for expanding the interest in American coins.

This small step is just a part of your ongoing effort in setting up and expanding the CCF

Sooner or later, the ANA may well recognize you, for your service to Numismatics.

@sel, I agree! Although as you know the umlauts are used in German-speaking countries, so maybe the medieval-collecting folks can get a little love too.
