    Greek polytonic keyboard layout now broken in Windows 10


    Hi there,I've previously used the Greek Polytonic layout in Windows 10 to create resources for classical Greek. It's now stopped working following an update: the 'polytonic' keyboard layout for both Greek and Greek Cyprus is now the same as standard Greek - see screenshot of the associated onscreen keyboard below. It looks like an update to the language pack has meant the polytonic option with all three of acute, circumflex, and grave accents, plus iota subscript and breathings has been accidentally overwritten with the modern Greek layout.This is definitely a bug, not a feature.Please can

    :)

    Polytonic Greek Keyboard on Windows 10

    Is there a way to have the polytonic greek keyboard on windows 10. Note that I don't want to change the language in which windows or other apps are displayed. I want to mantain English as my main language and the possibility to switch between normal qwerty
    keyboard layout and polytonic greek (θωερτψ) one.

    There is currently no Greek polytonic keyboard available on Windows, for use in typing ancient Greek, only non-polytonic (modern) Greek. I see this question was asked in 2017, but it still is not available. Are there no plans to add it?

    Polytonic Greek keyboard - suggestion for improvement: I suggest MS add lunate sigma U+03f2 to the Polytonic Greek keyboard. It has an earlier history at least 4thC BCE than the forms of sigma final and other that MS currently includes earliest 1stC CE, but probably only really from 8thC CE. Lunate sigma is less common than other...
