How do I copy and paste Greek letters?

Click any letter in the chart at the top of this page and it is copied to your clipboard, then paste it wherever you need it. Use Copy capitals or Copy lowercase to grab the whole alphabet at once.

How many letters are in the Greek alphabet?

Twenty-four, from Alpha (Α α) to Omega (Ω ω). Seven are vowels: Alpha, Epsilon, Eta, Iota, Omicron, Upsilon and Omega.

Can I generate random fraternity or sorority letters?

Yes. Set How many letters to 2 or 3, turn on No repeats and choose ABC for capitals. Greek-letter organisations usually use two or three capital letters, such as ΚΔΦ.

Why does sigma have two lowercase forms?

Lowercase sigma is written σ inside a word and ς at the end of a word. The generator shows σ, the form used everywhere except at the end.

Where are Greek letters used today?

Beyond Greek itself, they are everywhere in maths and science (π, Δ, Σ, λ, μ), in astronomy for naming stars, and in the names of fraternities, sororities and honour societies.

How to type Greek letters

iPhone and iPad: open Settings, General, Keyboard, Keyboards, Add New Keyboard, and pick Greek. Then tap the globe key to switch while typing.
Android (Gboard): open Gboard settings, Languages, Add keyboard, and choose Greek. Switch with the globe key or by holding the space bar.
Mac: add Greek under System Settings, Keyboard, Input Sources, or press Control, Command and Space to open the Character Viewer and search for the letter name, such as “alpha”.
Windows: add Greek under Settings, Time and language, Language and region, then switch with Windows key and Space.
Anywhere: copy the letter from the chart at the top of this page and paste it.

Fraternity and sorority letters

Greek-letter organisations use two or three capital letters, such as ΚΔΦ or ΣΑ. To brainstorm a set, set the generator to 3 letters, choose ABC for capitals and turn on No repeats, then copy the ones you like.

How to learn the Greek letters faster

Start with the ones you already know. Α, Β, Ε, Ζ, Η, Ι, Κ, Μ, Ν, Ο, Τ and Χ look like Latin capitals, even when they sound different.
Quiz yourself with names hidden. Turn off Show letter names, generate a letter, say its name, then turn names back on to check.
Practise lowercase separately. Lowercase forms like ξ, ζ and ψ cause most mistakes. Switch to abc and drill only those.

Want Latin letters instead? Use the random letter generator, or try the Japanese letter generator for hiragana and katakana.
