We now have Greek Alphabet support.

There is now a link above the post box to allow generation of code that will post Greek letters. They can also be copy/pasted directly from elsewhere too and should work.

Greek-Alphabet-Support

Let me know if you see any bugs.

These are great Bobby, thank you for doing this.

ΑSIS ; ΒSIS ; ΓSIS ; ΔSIS ; εSIS

There are a couple more that come up from time to time in the discussion of Greek marks on coins. The "final sigma," which has similarities to an English "s," and the "digamma" which is sometimes represented as an "s" with a drooping tail at bottom, or also as a "c" with a vertical descender (almost like a sickle). Letter forms varied over time and distance, but these two letter forms persisted in use into the period of Late Roman bronze as field marks and officina marks for certain mints.

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

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