Frequently Asked Questions
How do I type Greek letters?
Click the Greek letters on the virtual keyboard. The Greek alphabet has 24 letters.
What is the Greek keyboard layout?
The standard Greek layout maps letters onto QWERTY positions by sound and shape (for example α on the A key, β on the B key).
How do I type accented vowels (ά, έ, ή, ί, ό, ύ, ώ)?
Use the tonos dead key (the ; key on a Greek layout) followed by the vowel, or the dedicated combinations.
How do I type the dialytika (ϊ, ϋ) and combined marks (ΐ, ΰ)?
The dialytika (diaeresis) is entered with a dead key. Combined tonos-and-dialytika letters ΐ and ΰ are typed with the matching combination.
How do I type the final sigma (ς)?
The final sigma ς is used at the end of a word and has its own key (usually the W position), while σ is used elsewhere.
Can I type polytonic (Ancient) Greek?
The standard keyboard is monotonic. Ancient/polytonic Greek needs a polytonic layout for breathings and multiple accents.
