	Numerals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In the Milesian scheme, the sixth letter of the alphabet, standing for 6, is the digamma—just as its Latin equivalent F is the sixth letter of the Latin alphabet.
		The stigma ligature survived the rejection of ligatures in the 18th century, and was in common use in Greece in the early 19th century.
		For archaic letters, the case for an uppercase/lowercase is clear: the letters are fully alphabetic, and are subject to titlecase capitalisation as initials of either proper names or the beginnings of sentences.

	Stigma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the apertures of the gill of an ascidian, and of Amphioxus.
		Stigma (anatomy), a small spot, mark, scar, or a minute hole; applied especially to a spot on the outer surface of a Graafian follicle, and to spots of intercellular substance in scaly epithelium, or to minute holes in such spots.

	Digamma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Digamma (upper case Ϝ, lower case ϝ) is an archaic letter of the Greek alphabet, used primarily as a Greek numeral.
		However, in medieval and modern usage, the numeral has normally been written in the graphic form of a stigma (Ϛ, ϛ), which historically is completely distinct from digamma; it is a medieval ligature of sigma and tau.
		Digamma, like Y, derives from the Phoenician letter Waw, and in its turn gave rise to the Roman letter F.

	RFA-TW-03-001: STIGMA AND GLOBAL HEALTH RESEARCH PROGRAM
		Stigma, when applied to health conditions, is a globally pervasive problem threatening psychological and physical health at the individual and group level.
		The poor treatment of an individual because of the stigma of the condition itself, or of another aspect of that individual"s being or position in society (such as gender, race, sexual orientation or socio-economic status), leads to poor outcomes and perpetuates other adverse health, social and economic consequences for the individual, their families and communities.
		In the case of infectious disease (for example, sexually transmitted diseases), stigma and discrimination related to the mode of transmission and preexisting attitudes towards some affected individuals can lead to fear of disclosure, inadequate and inappropriate treatment of all affected, and the further spread of a disease which might otherwise be contained.

	Dze
		The origin of Glagolitic letter "dzelo" is unclear, however, the Cyrillic Ѕ is probably derived in some way from the Greek letter "Ϛ" (stigma), which had the same numerical value (6), and was similar in pronunciation (in Greek, in Slavic).
		Thus the homoglyphic traits of the Cyrillic Ѕ and Latin S are largely coincidental, although the letters are distantly related: the Latin letter originates directly from the Greek sigma (Σ), whereas the Cyrillic letter originates from the pair of letters Στ (upper case) στ (lower case).
		The initial sound of the letter S in Old Church Slavonic was a soft or, which often became a sound in modern Russian, as in мъноѕи (), по ноѕѣ (), and растрьѕати ().

	[B-Greek] Stigma and Digamma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Concerning stigma: Stigma is a "ligature", a combination of sigma and tau, as used in (minuscle) manuscripts and early printed editions of Greek texts, even until the 19th century.
		There is little difference between the stigma and the sigma we use at the end of Greek words.
		In Byzantine times the letter was named stigma, after the ligature for ST. In minuscles it was written as the stigma or the end-sigma.

	Ordering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The latter issue is easier, since the non-Attic letters already have canonical positions thanks to their erstwhile positions as numerals (and lexica reflect this where they do not conflate non-Attic letters with extant letters, as is usually the case with koppa, san, and sampi): the ordering is
		Ligatures canonical or not, to the extent that they belong in Unicode at all, would presumably sort as their expanded counterparts: even if a stigma were left as is in the word in an index (which is doubtful), it would sort under sigma tau.
		The Greek letters new to Unicode 4.0 have not yet been incorporated into DUCET, but where they will go is mostly predictable: numeric koppa will sort after archaic koppa, reverse epsilon symbol after lunate epsilon symbol, capital theta symbol after capital theta, capital lunate sigma after lowercase lunate sigma, san before both koppas.

	© POL.it: LETTER FROM UK - APRIL 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The aim of the campaign was to increase the understanding of mental illness amongst the general public and professionals and therefore help reducing the stigma of mental illness.
		In two previous public opinion surveys in the UK 80% of the population agreed with the statement "most people are embarrassed by mentally ill people", and 30% saying "I am embarrassed by people with mental illness" (Huxley, 1993).
		The temptation to leave the task of challenging stigma and discrimination to the Royal College is high, however the possibility of bringing about definitive change is probably low.

	Mental illness and stigma: Coping with the ridicule - MayoClinic.com
		Stigma is painful and shaming, but you can both cope with it and combat it.
		Stigma also leads to social distancing, in which people refuse to rent rooms to someone with a mental illness, don't want them as neighbors or co-workers, and won't befriend them.
		Because stigma can lead to social isolation, it's important to stay in touch with family and friends who are understanding.

		The major factor contributing to stigma is the war on drugs policy which defines addiction in terms of prohibited drugs and determines that addicts are "bad people" who "need to be punished" for their use of these illicit substances.
		The current trend in escalating stigma lies in the face of over 40 years of science-based addiction treatment in research.
		This trend of returning stigma of addiction to its victims has become the major force shaping fiscal, medical, legal, and public heath responses to addiction treatment.

	Shakespeare's Unorthodox Biography - New Evidence of an Authorship Problem by Diana Price
		May concludes that there was a "stigma of verse" but no general "stigma of print." I would infer, then, that the stigma of print, such as it was, was confined to the genre of poetry.
		Nevertheless, if there was no stigma of print, or if any authorial shyness was just an affectation, then we should expect to identify various members of the nobility who published their poems and plays, with or without apology.
		The stigma of print is manifested first and foremost with the nobility, and is gradually diluted as we descend the social ladder.
