A note on terminal sigma
Terminal sigma is a non-semantic presentational variant of the letter sigma determined by word position. When a Greek string is constructed from Unicode code points, code point 962 (terminal sigma) is mapped to ASCII s
. When a Greek string is constructed from an ASCII representation, the sequence s
is mapped to ς
. Otherwise, s
is mapped to code point 963 (initial or medial sigma).
