Description:
This is a feature request rather than a bug report.
Wikipedia's limited version of [[TeX]] is immensely useful in mathematics articles. In particular one can type any and all of the 24 letters of the standard Greek alphabet:
:
: <math> \alpha\beta\gamma\delta\epsilon\zeta\eta\theta\iota\kappa\lambda\mu\nu\xi\omicron\pi\rho\sigma\tau\upsilon\varphi\chi\psi\omega. \, </math>
:
However, one cannot (as far as I can tell so far) type the lower-case [[stigma (letter)|stigma]] or [[koppa (letter)|koppa]]. These were used in ancient [[Greek numerals]], and in Wikipedia articles that need to mention ancient Greek arithmetic, they would be useful. For examlpe, the 2nd-century trigonometric table on page 48 of [http://www.wilbourhall.org/pdfs/HeibergAlmagestComplete.pdf this pdf file] uses both stigma and koppa. I think these can be found in some [[LaTex]] packages. I would like to see them available for use in Wikipedia articles. Can someone here help with that?
