α) Overview

εΕγΔΜα provides tools for encoding, decoding, and visualizing classical Greek alphabets (Παλαιά Ελληνικά) in digital formats. Our system supports Unicode compliance while preserving historical authenticity.

This documentation includes:

Unicode mapping guidelines for Greek polytonic characters
API endpoints for transliteration services
Font embedding strategies for web implementations
Browser compatibility notes for ancient character sets

β) Core Concepts

Διάκριση Σημείων (Diacritics)

Our system handles complex Greek polytonic notation including:

• Υπογενετικά (Breathing marks) όπως Ὁ and Ὀ
• Λόγχη (Accent marks): ὀξύς (ά), βαρύ (ὰ), and ψιλό (ὰ)
• Σημεία σύμπτωσης (spiritus lenis/asper)
• Περισπασμένη (smooth/rough breathing)

Unicode Implementation

We utilize Unicode block: U+0370–U+03FF (Greek and Coptic)

// Example transliteration mapping
{
    "α": "alpha",
    "β": "beta",
    "γ": "gamma",
    // ...
    "ψιλός": "smooth breathing"
}

γ) Implementation Guide

1. Προσαρμογή Φόντου (Font Integration)

Use system fonts or import our optimized Greek typography package

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=GFS+Didot&display=swap');

body {
    font-family: 'GFS Didot', serif;
    font-variant-ligatures: historic;
}

2. Συνδέσεις API (API Endpoints)

Available transliteration services

Endpoint	Purpose
POST /transliterate	Convert Greek text to Latin script
GET /validateChar	Check Unicode validity

δ) Technical Considerations
