Unicode

If you do not know what Unicode is, visit Sean Redmond's Unicode page. The page includes a utility to convert texts written in any of several traditional fonts to Unicode. It also includes a brief introduction to unicode.

James Naughton has provided a great little utility for creating unicode Greek text for display on the web. It allows you to type your text using a standard western keyboard and have the text converted on the fly to unicode Greek! It will even let you specify the font you want it to use.

For a detailed discussion of how to use Unicode to display Greek text on a web page, see the discussion provided by the STOA Consortium.

For some helpful recommendations for using unicode in web pages, see Penn State's computing page for Greek texts.
