    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 forms now - but that is just because its rarity is perpetuated by its absence in MS keyboard language. It has probably also been perpetuated by Western Roman Catholic Medieval Europeans wishing to differentiate their scholarship from the Greek orthography of the Eastern Orthodox Church - which used lunate sigma b

  2. Greek polytonic keyboard

    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

    Yeah, but as I literally said above, I have done this already. Language settings and keyboard are set to polytonic Greek. I just can't see how to manage certain combinations of accent+breathing mark which are absolutely standard for Polytonic Greek. But
    when I open the onscreen keyboard it only shows the option of combining a rough breathing mark with an acute accent. This is just bizarre.
