===Greek===

Many [[Greek alphabet|Greek letters]] are used as [[technical symbol]]s. All of the Greek letters are encoded in the Greek section of Unicode but many are encoded a second time under the name of the technical symbol they represent. The "[[micro sign]]" (U+00B5, µ) is obviously inherited from [[ISO 8859-1]], but the origin of the others is less clear.
