Greek letters α β γ δ π Σ Ω

The full Greek alphabet in capitals and small letters, the symbol variants used in math, and their lookalikes.

The Greek alphabet lives in the Greek and Coptic block. Small sigma has two forms: σ inside a word and ς at the end. Mathematics also uses a set of “symbol” variants — ϑ ϕ ϖ ϱ ϵ — which are distinct characters with compatibility decompositions to the ordinary letters.

Several Greek letters have separate math lookalikes: Ω OHM SIGN U+2126, ∆ INCREMENT U+2206, ∑ N-ARY SUMMATION U+2211, ∏ N-ARY PRODUCT U+220F and µ MICRO SIGN U+00B5. The Greek question mark ; U+037E is canonically equivalent to the ASCII semicolon, so normalization replaces it with ; — a classic source of confusing bugs.
