Beta Code is a method of representing using only ASCII characters, characters and formatting found in ancient Greek texts (and other ancient languages). Its aim is to be not merely a romanization of the Greek alphabet, but to represent faithfully a wide variety of source texts – including formatting as well as rare or idiosyncratic charactersThis script will produce Greek accented letters with tonos (and not with oxia)
