Greek word spelling

roger64 · 10-15-2019, 04:15 PM

Hi

I have the font but I am afraid I shall not write this word properly (see screenshot). Could some kind soul write it for me so that I could shamelessly copy-paste it?

It probably means something like City.

Here you go: Πόλις

And yes, it means city, urbs is the same in Latin.

You can also use our wiki for Alphabet#Greek to cut and paste

The problem with that list is that all the accented characters from the Extended Greek unicode register are missing - and you can't really do much without them.

I'm a happy user of BabelMap.

I use BbleMap and BablePad as well.

IMHO, it's often easier to use Beta Code converters.

For example:

Greek Beta Code Converter
Beta Code to Unicode converter (German website with a couple of example phrases)

Users familiar with Greek can also use online keyboards.

For example:
Ancient Greek Keyboard Online LEXILOGOS

Every time Greek gets brought up, I always go back to the same resources (see Post #8):

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=321434

Also, read the thread above + the linked ones... there's lots of good Greek info in there (and also proper ways to code it in your ebooks using lang + xml:lang).

PS. You've even posted in many of those threads. Shame on you!
