Re: just hit ϱ

I think mrdale is talking about his shiny new greek letter.

Re: just hit ϱ

??? It isn’t Greek – Cyrillic maybe?

Re: just hit ϱ

Ops! I shouldn’‘t contradict a greek speaker.

But in the thread subject I’m seeing a “just hit ϱ” (and the last glyph is a rho character, at least that is what Wikipedia says: rho)

Re: just hit ϱ

Rho doen’t have the curly bit below:)

Here it is: ρ – looks more like “p”

>Edit
Having said that – can see wikipedia showing its variations.

Have to say that I never saw it written the way dale has posted it.

Re: just hit ϱ

Pasted it into the character palette :).

It’s the rho symbol, not small letter. I’ve only seen/used the small letter before.

Re: just hit ϱ

The symbol ϱ (U+03F1) is designated specifically for the curled form, used as a technical symbol.

So mrdale is definitely a ρ (U+03C1) ;)

Neither have I.
I studied ancient Greek in school for three years.
