Greek letters their names and english letter equivalents. These symbols are often used in a variety of mathematical and scientific applications
The greek characters will only display properly on devices with the symbol font installed. If your device doesn't have this font then you won't be able to see the greek!

The correct display of greek characters can be quite troublesome in different browsers and operating systems. The symbol font works well for internet explorer but for firefox it doesn't work. For the greek characters above I've used character entity reference numbers which seems to work well for the majority of browsers. Look here for help with using greek characters in webpages.
