I am using the Koine Greek keyboard. I'm wondering what the Greek letter is that is produced when I hit the v (either upper or lowercase, they are simply the same character, with different sizes). It is a small vertical line with a circle immediately above it, a bit ike a Q that has been rotated 20 degrees clockwise.

I'm pretty sure this is connected to the Keyman keyboard, as this happens regardless of the font I use (Gentium, Koine-Medium, or even a native Windows font).

Interesting. Found teh answer to my own question. It is an archaic letter known as koppa. [urlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koppa_%28letter%29[/url] Click on the link to see the character I was talking about--it is the one on the left side (of the three characters on the upper right corner of that wikipedia page). It apparently had the same sound as the familiar Greek kappa, so the koppa was phased out.

Well learn something new every day.
