Greek Small Letter Final Sigma Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Greek Small Letter Final Sigma because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+03C2, which you can use as ς in HTML, \03C2 in CSS, or type with Alt+962 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Greek Small Letter Final Sigma is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+03C2 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. HTML also defines the named entity ς for Greek Small Letter Final Sigma, but the numeric form ς is safer when compatibility is uncertain.
