Greek Letters

The complete Greek alphabet, uppercase Α to Ω and lowercase α to ω, followed by accented forms, the symbol variants of theta and phi used in mathematics, and archaic letters such as digamma. Click any letter to copy it.

Greek letters do double duty as the vocabulary of maths, physics and engineering, which is why fonts carry separate symbol variants of several letters alongside the everyday alphabet.

An alphabet that became the language of science

The Greek alphabet has been borrowed so heavily by science that most people meet its letters in a physics lesson long before they read a word of Greek. Pi measures a circle, sigma adds a series together, delta stands for change and lambda for a wavelength, each letter carrying a meaning far from its origins.

This is also why fonts carry separate symbol versions of a few letters. A mathematician needs one settled shape of phi or theta that looks the same in every textbook, so Unicode supplies both the everyday letter used for writing Greek and its specialised twin used for writing equations.
