How it works

γ is the gamma symbol: Greek small letter gamma, U+03B3, the third letter of the Greek alphabet. The rows add the capital Γ, math styles such as 𝛾, the raised ᵞ and lowered ᵧ, double-struck ℽ, and the Latin ɣ.

Gamma is the Greek letter for g

In ancient Greek gamma was a hard g. In modern Greek it is usually a velar fricative, and the hard g of a foreign word is written γκ. The Latin letters C and G both arose from gamma.

γ and ɣ are different letters

ɣ, U+0263, is the Latin gamma, the phonetic sign for a voiced velar fricative. Its capital Ɣ is a letter of Dinka and Ewe, and the raised ˠ marks velarization. A search for the Greek γ, U+03B3, will not find any of them.

For a positive whole number n, Γ(n) is the factorial of n − 1.
γ̇, gamma with a dot above, is the shear rate of a fluid.

Questions and answers

What is the Alt code for gamma?

Alt+226 types the capital Γ: hold Alt, type 226 on the number pad with Num Lock on, then let go. In HTML the capital is Γ and in LaTeX \Gamma.

What is the Alt code for lowercase gamma?

The lowercase γ has no Alt code, because the old PC character set holds only the capital. Copy it, or write γ in HTML, γ as a number, or \gamma in LaTeX.

What does the gamma letter stand for?

Small γ stands for gamma radiation, the photon, the Lorentz factor of relativity and the Euler–Mascheroni constant. Capital Γ names the gamma function. Gamma is the Greek alphabet's third letter and the numeral 3.

How this list was compiled: Names, and the code points they belong to, are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), printed in sentence case; its decomposition field is what says a math alphabet character is a plain letter in a font, or that an accented letter is a letter plus its marks. Aliases, notes and cross-references are from NamesList.txt of the same version (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt), the version a character was added in is from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), and the years are from https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html.

A cell is empty where no such method exists. What gamma is for, as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma records it: the third letter, the numeral value 3, the hard g of ancient Greek and the fricative of modern Greek, gamma kappa for a foreign g, double gamma, gamma radiation, the photon, the Lorentz factor, the Euler–Mascheroni constant, the gamma function, the shear rate written with a dot above, the Feferman–Schütte ordinal, the Latin gamma of phonetic writing and of African alphabets, the vowel sign that is not gamma, the confusion with y, and the Latin C and G, the Coptic letter and the Cyrillic ghe letters that arose from gamma. The gamma function at a positive whole number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_function. Digamma, its sound and its place in the alphabet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digamma.

Listed: every character Unicode names gamma in the Greek, Latin, Coptic, modifier and Letterlike blocks, the ten math alphabet forms, the two digammas, the Cyrillic letters the article ties to gamma, two look-alikes, and this site's own strings of two to four characters, each written the way a source writes it. Left out: the other Greek letters (each has its own page), the bold digammas, the Pamphylian digamma, and two Latin letters added in Unicode 18.0 that few devices can draw yet.
