"Molon Labe" how to do it in Greek online.

[GigaBuist]

Given the recent "rush" we've seen about this phrase with Correia's hats and questions from newcomers I thought I'd post this here as I wanted to get the info for myself.

Oh, Correia, nice hat! I got mine in the mail today!

How do you represent "Molon Labe" in the original Greek online?

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΈ

Now, to get that to show up, here's what you need to put into a message:

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΈ

Now you know.

Edited:

I may have screwed that up originally. I'm not sure where the accent on the E character goes exactly.

This looks closer to proper, but I'm not sure.

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕʹ

Which looks like this when inputting it:

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕʹ

Character Mapping for other widows apps.
(there is an 'ALT+' Special character for Omega - but most browsers and other apps don't recognize it, upper or lower case.)

When you are typing the text into a document and you need special symbols or foreign letters that you do not have in your keyboard, what can you do?
In MS Word, one method is to click on "Insert" >> "Symbol" and browse for the symbol you want to insert.
If you want to have an icon on your toolbars that gives you the "Symbols" dialog box, do the following:

- Right-click anywhere on the Word toolbars
- Choose the last choice: "Customize..."
- Click on the "Commands" tab
- On the left side click on "Insert"
- On the right pane search for an "Omega" icon, that is the icon for the function "Insert" >> "Symbol"
- Once you have found it, just drag it and drop it where you like in one of your toolbars.

From now on, you will have a new icon which will give you quick access to the symbols.

Another good way of dealing with symbols and foreign characters is to use the "Character Map".

At any time, you can open the Character Map, select the letter or symbol (or both) you want to copy, and copy it in the clipboard. This way it is ready to be pasted at the exact place you want.

The Character Map is a Windows tool. Here is where it is located:

In Windows 95 it is under "Start" >> "Programs" >> "Accessories" >> "Character Map"

In Windows 98 and Millennium you can find it under "Start" >> "Programs" >> "Accessories" >> "System Tools" >> "Character Map"

If you don't have it listed in the menu, it means that you have not had it installed during the Windows installation. In this case, you can still add it. Click on "Start" >> "Settings" >> "Control Panel" and click on the "Add/remove Programs" icon.

Now, in the "Windows Setup" tab, click on "Accessories" for Win 95 or "System Tools" for Win 98/ME and put a tick mark besides "Character Map". As soon as you click "Apply" and then "OK" Windows will install it for you.

Once you have displayed the Character Map, it is simple to use:

Choose the font style (like you do with the symbols or when you select a bullet) and click any symbol or character you want to insert in the presentation. Then press "Select", and it will be listed under "Characters to copy". You can copy more than one character at the same time.

Once you click on "Copy", the characters or symbols chosen will be copied into the clipboard, and they will be ready to be pasted in your document. Close the Character map (or minimize it in case you want to reuse it) and press Ctrl+V in the document to paste the characters you have just copied.

Last additional trick: in the lower bar of the Character Map dialog box, you will see also the keystroke necessary to obtain the character you have selected. Thus, for the future, you can alternatively use that one instead.

The Character Map works fine with all the other applications, not only with Word.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Windows users.

Last I knew if you held down ALT and then entered in a character code you get it too. So, alt+0924 would give you the first M-looking character. I'll double check that next time I'm at a Windows machine.
