Greek Letters Copy and Paste

1. Choose Uppercase, Lowercase, or Variant forms, or search by letter name (for example “delta”), the character, or a code point.

2. Click the letter you need. Each button shows the official Unicode name and code point.

3. Paste it into your document, equation, spreadsheet, or message, and check that the destination font draws it.

Greek letters on this page are plain Unicode characters in the Greek and Coptic block: 24 uppercase letters, 24 lowercase letters plus final sigma ς, and seven variant forms used mainly in mathematics and physics. Copy one letter at a time and paste it anywhere that accepts text.

Click a letter to copy it, then paste with Ctrl+V on Windows or Command+V on Mac. On iPhone and Android, tap and hold in a text field and choose Paste. The uppercase set runs from Α (alpha, U+0391) to Ω (omega, U+03A9), and the lowercase set runs from α (U+03B1) to ω (U+03C9). Greek has 24 letters, and the lowercase row also includes the final sigma ς (U+03C2), which Greek writing uses at the end of a word in place of σ.

To type Greek without this page, add the Greek keyboard layout. On Windows, open Settings, then Time & language, then Language & region, and add Greek. On Mac, add Greek under System Settings, then Keyboard, then Input Sources. In Microsoft Word, type the hex code and press Alt+X: 03B1 then Alt+X gives α, and 03A9 then Alt+X gives Ω. In Word and Google Docs equations, typing \alpha, \beta, or \Delta followed by a space produces the matching letter. In HTML, entities such as α, β, Δ, and Ω work, as do numeric references such as α.

The most common jobs are mathematics and science. π is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, Δ marks change, Σ marks a sum, θ often names an angle, λ a wavelength, μ a mean or a prefix such as micro, σ a standard deviation, and ω an angular frequency. Greek letters also name fraternities and sororities, stars and storms, and product lines. Copying the character keeps the text searchable, which an image of a formula cannot do.

The variant forms ϑ (theta symbol), ϕ (phi symbol), ϖ (pi symbol), ϐ (beta symbol), ϵ (lunate epsilon symbol), ϰ (kappa symbol), and ϱ (rho symbol) are separate code points from the standard letters. Typefaces and style guides use them to tell two glyph shapes apart in the same formula, such as φ and ϕ for two different quantities. When a source or editor shows a specific shape, copy that exact character from the Variant forms group.

A few Greek letters have lookalikes elsewhere in Unicode. The ohm sign Ω (U+2126) and the micro sign µ (U+00B5) are drawn like the Greek capital omega Ω (U+03A9) and the Greek small letter mu μ (U+03BC), and many standards say to use the Greek letters. Greek capital letters such as Α, Β, and Ε also look like Latin A, B, and E but have different code points, so search and spell-check treat them as Greek. The code point under each button tells you which one you copied.
