Do you know how to put Greek letters in H2G2 conversations, articles, and/or usernames. I have reason to think you might.

Spelugx the Beige, Wizard, Perl, Thaumatologically Challenged Posted Feb 17, 2004
The summary of the situation as I can recall it is:
Conversations: Typing greek characters directly (from a greek keyboard, or from a Character Map program) may work, but it may also not work. I've put a few at the end of this post just to test things.
Articles: You should use entities, eg Σ. See A266951 for a full list.
Nicknames: I'm not sure right now, I think you can use the characters directly, but I'm testing right now.
As you can guess it's been a while since I've done this, and as you can also guess the system doesn't support non-English languages very well at all. Hopefully something the BBC can see fit to fix to become a bit more inclusive.
