Greek Symbols
Click any symbol to copy it. 36 characters, each labelled with its Unicode code point.
This is a real alphabet, not a symbol set, and that distinction causes more confusion than anything else in this collection: several Greek capitals are visually identical to Latin letters but are different characters. This collection holds 36 greek symbols drawn from 1 Unicode block — mainly Greek and Coptic. Code points run from U+0391 to U+03C9. All of them sit in the Basic Multilingual Plane, which means broad font support and very few encoding surprises.
The confusables
Α Β Ε Ζ Η Ι Κ Μ Ν Ο Ρ Τ Υ Χ are Greek capitals that look identical to Latin A B E Z H I K M N O P T Y X in most fonts. They sort differently, search differently, and will not match a Latin-letter query. This is a known vector for deceptive domain names and identifiers.
Mathematics uses a separate set
Greek letters in mathematical notation have their own encodings in the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, distinct from these. The Greek block characters are for writing Greek.
Final sigma is a real letter
ς is not a variant glyph of σ. Greek uses σ inside a word and ς at the end, and both are separately encoded because the distinction is part of the orthography.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Greek capitals to style Latin text?
You can, and it will look right, but searching for that word will fail because the characters are not the Latin letters they resemble. For identifiers and usernames it also raises spoofing concerns, and some services reject mixed-script input for that reason.
