Is there an easy way to enter the overstroke character in papyrological texts?
The overstroke is U+0305 and it can be entered with the GreekKeys Unicode keyboards. It should be entered after the character that you wish to mark with the overstroke. In the latest revisions of New Athena Unicode, KadmosU, AttikaU, and BosporosU fonts, the overstroke has been repositioned and lengthened to prevent intersection with a tall character and to allow strokes on two successive letters to join in most cases. Use the Keyboard Charts included in the GreekKeys 2008 package to determine the position of U+0305 on the various localized keyboards. Return to top of FAQ.
