Greek an Coptic is the Unicode block for tae represent modren (monotonic) Greek. It wis originally uised for writin Coptic,[1] uisin the similar Greek letters, in addition tae the uniquely Coptic additions. Beginnin wi version 4.1 o the Unicode Standard, a sindry Coptic block has been includit in Unicode, allowin for mixed Greek/Coptic text that is stylistically contrastive, as is convention in scholarly works. Writin polytonic Greek requires the uise o combining chairacters or the precomposed vowel + tone chairacters in the Greek Extended chairacter block.

The block name in Unicode 1.0 wis semply Greek, awtho Coptic letters wis else includit.

History

[eedit | eedit soorce]

In Unicode 1.0.1, a nummer o chynges were makkit tae this block for tae mak Unicode 1.0.1 a proper subset o ISO 10646.[1][2][3]

  • The smaw stigma, digamma, koppa an sampi wis withdrawn for further study. Thir chairacters wis addit back in, in Unicode 3.0.0.
  • The non-spacing dasia pneumata, psili pneumata an tonos wis mellt wi non-spacin reversed comma abuin, comma abuin and vertical line abuin in the Combinin Diacritical Mairks block. The last wis replacit bi the spacin tonos, while in Unicode 5.1.0 the former twa wis replacit by the smaw heta an the caipital archaic sampi.
  • The non-spacin iota ablo an diaeresis tonos wis renamed an flittit tae the Combinin Diacritical Mairks block. The latter wis replacit bi the spacin diaeresis tonos, while the former wis replacit bi the caipital heta in Unicode 5.1.0.
  • The Greek question mairk, the upper an lower numeral signs an the aforementioned spacin tonos and diaeresis tonos, an the spacing iota ablo wis flittit tae new positions within the block an aw. They were replacit bi the kai, or Greek &, (in Unicode 3.0.0), the caipital an smaw archaic koppa (3.2.0), the yot (1.1.0), an alternative caipital theta an the lunate epsilon (both 3.1.0) respectively.


The followin Unicode-relatit documents record the purpose an process o definin specific chairacters in the Greek an Coptic block:
