Note: [1][2][3]
Greek and Coptic is the Unicode block for representing modern (monotonic) Greek. It was originally also used for writing Coptic,[1] using the similar Greek letters in addition to the uniquely Coptic additions. Beginning with version 4.1 of the Unicode Standard, a separate Coptic block has been included in Unicode, allowing for mixed Greek/Coptic text that is stylistically contrastive, as is convention in scholarly works. Writing polytonic Greek requires the use of combining characters or the precomposed vowel + tone characters in the Greek Extended character block.
Its block name in Unicode 1.0 was simply Greek, although Coptic letters were already included.[4]
