<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2886240, member: 19463&quot;]I recommend you always use caps for this purpose.&nbsp; That will allow you to copy and paste directly.&nbsp; Below is the keyboard.&nbsp; Most are obvious but a few require learning.&nbsp; Many later coins are better represented with a regular W for omega and a regular C for sigma as shown on the coin in question. </p><p><br /></p><p>They decided to use the Y for psi and the U for upsilon which is shaped like Y.&nbsp; Greek has no consonant H but used that shape for the long A sound eta which makes sense.&nbsp; There is no J so that key just returned a star.&nbsp; Greek chi looks like our X while their X sound (xi) was made differently (Ξ) but used the C on the keyboard.&nbsp; This decision seems opposite of the one made for some letters.&nbsp;&nbsp; The digamma (Ϝ) is rarely found on coins but available on the V key (vau).</p><p><br /></p><p>Below the main window are buttons including Greek Letters that offers many special characters of which most useful to coin people might be stigma2 (ϛ) used for officina 6.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point: This is a great resource but will require learning its little oddities which may or may not make sense but need to be accepted as facts.&nbsp; This may be easier for people who do not read Greek than any other introduction to the subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>ΘΩΕΡΤΨΥΙΟΠ</p><p>ΑΣΔΦΓΗ*ΚΛ</p><p>ΖΧΞϜΒΝΜ[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
