 | | For the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae project of the University of California at Irvine, a method for representing Greek characters in ASCII was devised, called Beta Codes. |
 | | Most of the Greek letters are represented by their Roman phonetic equivalents, except for eta (H), theta (Q), xi (C), psi (Y), omega (W), and Digamma (V), which are represented by a Roman letter that is similar in appearance to the Greek letter. |
 | | For purposes of writing numbers, the standard Beta Code is extended with lower and upper primes (written <>), qoppa (written @) and sampi (written #); for example the Greek numerals for 2,996 are written `'. |
