Did you forget your letters?

ETA: Wait, you're not even Greek. FAIL.

It's all about using Unicode instead of some weird font:

αβγδεζηθικλμνξoπρστυφχψω
ABΓ∆EZHΘIKΛMNΞOΠPΣTΥΦXΨΩ

See? No font tags there. Feel free to copy and paste. :)

I installed Greek keyboard input for my computer (I have a MacBook) and my iPhone, so I can write Greek organizations' names. but you'll need to learn which keys on your regular keyboard would produce whatever Greek letters you need, since some Greek letters (i.e. Θ and Ξ) do not have an equivalent in our alphabet.

here's a handy "chart" showing which letters to input to produce certain Greek letters using the Greek keyboard software. btw, all Greek letters are capital so I just put the caps lock on for both.

The last post made me think about geting the Greek keyboard on my iPhone... not sure how seaquin installed one, but I took an easy route:

Settings --> General --> Keyboard --> International Keyboards --> turn Greek on

Then whenever you're typing away, hit the little world icon by the spacebar to toggle your international keyboards and you get this. I already had a Portuguese one set up, never thought about a Greek option until now. Awesome.

I have a MacBook. Can you tell me where to make this change?

(I used to use MACs only, then changed to PC for work, and just changed back to MAC for my personal computer at Christmas).

Thank you!!
