How it works

This Greek font generator swaps your letters for Greek ones, by looks or by sound: Σ is an E in one row and an S in the next. Some apps strip or block these characters, and screen readers may read them badly.

Two rows, two kinds of Greek

The large card, Looks Greek, swaps a letter only for a Greek one of similar shape, so Λ stands for A. Sounds Greek, below, goes by sound: S becomes Σ, th becomes θ and ps becomes ψ. It works letter by letter. Neither row translates a word.

Why S, l, r and g stayed plain

Looks Greek has 25 keys, 19 small letters and 6 capitals, and leaves the rest as typed. Fourteen Greek capitals are no use to it: Unicode's confusables file lists each as the double of a Latin capital, and a swap nobody can see is not a style. Sounds Greek covers all 26 letters. W gets digamma and Q gets koppa, two letters Greek dropped.

Tips
  • A word that ends in s takes ς, not σ. Sounds Greek cannot see word ends, so fix that letter by hand.
  • No key types omega: o already belongs to omicron. Copy ω or Ω from the table below.
  • The table calls λ lamda, not lambda. That is Unicode's official spelling, and it lists lambda as the other name.

Questions and answers

Is this a Greek font?

No. A font changes how letters are drawn, and these are different letters: the 24 of the Greek alphabet, which Unicode has carried since version 1.1 in June 1993. They paste as text, and the reader's device draws them.

Can it write my name in Greek letters?

Sounds Greek respells it letter by letter, from two tables run backwards: the Library of Congress one for ancient Greek and ELOT 743, the standard for names on Greek passports. Ask a Greek speaker before a name goes on anything permanent.

Why is Σ an E in one row and an S in the other?

It looks like one and sounds like the other. Sigma is the Greek s, and its capital looks like an E with the spine pushed in. Of the 25 Looks Greek keys, 12 give the same letter in both rows and 13 do not.

The alphabet, capitals 24

  • Greek capital letter alpha U+0391. Alpha, letter 1 of 24 and the number 1. Stands for A in Sounds Greek. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin A, a swap nobody could see, so Looks Greek leaves A plain.
  • Greek capital letter beta U+0392. Beta, letter 2 of 24 and the number 2. Stands for B in Sounds Greek. So does V: the ancient letter was a b sound and the modern one is a v. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin B, a swap nobody could see, so Looks Greek leaves B plain.
  • Greek capital letter chi U+03A7. Chi, letter 22 of 24 and the number 600. Stands for Ch in Sounds Greek. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin X, a swap nobody could see, so Looks Greek leaves X plain.
  • Greek capital letter delta U+0394. Delta, letter 4 of 24 and the number 4. Stands for D in both sets: the sound is a d, and the shape is close enough.

The alphabet, capitals, continued

  • Greek capital letter epsilon U+0395. Epsilon, letter 5 of 24 and the number 5. Stands for E in Sounds Greek. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin E, a swap nobody could see, so Looks Greek leaves E plain.
  • Greek capital letter eta U+0397. Eta, letter 7 of 24 and the number 8. A long e in classical Greek. Older Athenian writing used the same letter for the h sound, and Rome took it over that way, so it stands for H in Sounds Greek. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin H, a swap nobody could see, so Looks Greek leaves H plain.
  • Greek capital letter gamma U+0393. Gamma, letter 3 of 24 and the number 3. Stands for G in Sounds Greek.
  • Greek capital letter iota U+0399. Iota, letter 9 of 24 and the number 10. Stands for I in Sounds Greek. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin I, a swap nobody could see, so Looks Greek leaves I plain.
  • Greek capital letter kappa U+039A. Kappa, letter 10 of 24 and the number 20. Stands for K in Sounds Greek. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin K, a swap nobody could see, so Looks Greek leaves K plain.
  • Greek capital letter lamda U+039B. Lamda, letter 11 of 24 and the number 30. Stands for L in Sounds Greek. Unicode spells the name without the b. Looks Greek uses it for A.
  • Greek capital letter mu U+039C. Mu, letter 12 of 24 and the number 40. Stands for M in Sounds Greek. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin M, a swap nobody could see, so Looks Greek leaves M plain.
  • Greek capital letter nu U+039D. Nu, letter 13 of 24 and the number 50. Stands for N in Sounds Greek. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin N, a swap nobody could see, so Looks Greek leaves N plain.
  • Greek capital letter omega U+03A9. Omega, letter 24 of 24 and the number 800. No key types it: Latin letters write omega and omicron both as o, and the tool picks omicron. Copy it from here.
  • Greek capital letter omicron U+039F. Omicron, letter 15 of 24 and the number 70. Stands for O in Sounds Greek. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin O, a swap nobody could see, so Looks Greek leaves O plain.

  • Greek capital letter upsilon U+03A5. Upsilon, letter 20 of 24 and the number 400. Stands for Y in Sounds Greek. So does U, which is how upsilon is written in ou and au. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin Y, a swap nobody could see, so Looks Greek leaves Y plain.
  • Greek capital letter xi U+039E. Xi, letter 14 of 24 and the number 60. Stands for X in Sounds Greek.

Two letters Greek dropped 4

  • Greek letter archaic koppa U+03D8. Archaic koppa, dropped because kappa already made the k sound. Unicode's notes call this form Q-shaped, and it stands for Q in both sets. As a number it was 90. The Library of Congress table writes it as a k with a dot under it.
  • Greek letter digamma U+03DC. Digamma, which made a w sound until Greek stopped having one, before or during the classical period. The Library of Congress table still writes it as w, so it stands for W in Sounds Greek. As a number it was 6. Unicode's confusables file pairs it with Latin F.

How this list was compiled: All 82 rows were generated by a script from the Unicode Character Database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and the script stops unless every name is the one expected, every character has the script Greek (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Scripts.txt) and the age expected (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt): 1.1 for the 24 letters in both cases, final sigma and the two digammas, 3.2 for the two archaic koppas. The rows hold 53 different characters; a letter that is reached from a second key, or borrowed for its looks, has a row for each job, and the row's name says which. Sounds Greek reverses two published tables as printed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Greek: the Library of Congress (ALA-LC) table for ancient Greek and ELOT 743 type 2, the transcription used on Greek and Cypriot passports. The script reads both tables out of the article's source and stops unless each of the 24 letters has the value recorded in x.alalc and x.elot. The same article is the source for c (Roman writers replaced kappa with c), th, ph, rh and ch (aspirated consonants simply wrote out the sound), h (the alphabet Rome borrowed valued Η as the h sound), j (the name that became Johannes in Latin begins with an iota), u (upsilon is u in the diphthongs), v (modern beta sounds like the English letter v), w (digamma is w in the ISO and ALA-LC columns of its table of uncommon letters) and the k with a dot under it for koppa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet is the source for the number each letter stands for (its table of Greek numerals), for digamma's w sound dropping out before or during the classical period, for koppa being redundant with kappa, for heta as the h of Old Attic writing, and for final sigma being used only at the ends of words. The words Q-shaped, the alias lambda and digamma's value of 6 are annotations in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt. Doubles come from https://www.unicode.org/Public/security/latest/confusables.txt (version 18.0.0, dated 2026-08-06): it pairs 14 of the 24 Greek capitals with a Latin capital (x.double), and Looks Greek uses none of them for the letter it doubles. The 12 lookalikes that disagree with the sound were picked by eye from a render of every candidate beside the plain letter in Arial and Times New Roman on one Mac; x.fit says listed where the confusables file pairs the two and by-eye where it does not. Left out on purpose: letters neither test font had (heta, the capital kai symbol, archaic sampi, Pamphylian digamma), the lunate sigma and yot, which are exact doubles of c and j, and anything that needed two characters to fake one letter. All checked on 2026-09-20. Names are the official ones in sentence case, with the key added where one character has more than one row.
