Documentation

This utility is intended to help in transforming Greek Beta Code strings into Unicode strings utilizing characters in the Greek Extended Range (1F00-1FFF), the traditional Greek and Coptic Range (0370-03FF), the Combining Diacritics Range (0300-036F), and a few in the Punctuation range.

Restrictions

The tool is currently limited to strings of 150 characters or less. The goal is to provide a useful utility to quickly type or paste a string in Greek Beta Code and get nice, polytonic Greek Unicode. The goal isn't to allow you to copy & paste reams of data from TLG/PHI CDs so you can get them into Unicode.

Samples to Try

Here are some samples that you can copy/paste to see how the tool works.

Character Combinations

This tool will map to the best available unicode character, however, it assumes that the user enters the Greek Beta Code text in Unicode order. This is easy to do though there are a few guidelines:

The asterisk is used for upper-case. The conversion utility knows nothing about the case of letters as the Greek Beta Code spec indicates that an asterisk indicates case. If lower-case letters are entered, they will be case-shifted into upper-case.
Diacritics always follow letters, even for upper-case Letters. Thus, for Ὅταν, one would enter *O(/TAN, not the typically used *(/OTAN. Letters first, followed by diacritics. The general order of diacritics is:
Breathing Mark
Grave/Acute Accent
Diaresis
Iota Subscript
No final-sigma smartness. If you type something like LO/GOS, you'll get λόγοσ. Type LO/GOJ instead.
