While re-writing Æsop this afternoon, I went to some trouble to secure the correct transcription (according to the Penguin edition I was ripping off) of 'Truth' - Alētheia.
Howsoever many times I inserted the odd ē character, though, whenever I hit 'Publish' the word came out corrupted - Al?theia.
Even the 'Insert custom symbol' option came up short: Wordpress didn't have it (define 'custom'...). Irritated, I settled for an umlaut. But not before noting, in the context of my two variations which question 'Truth', the irony of the recurring question mark in the middle of her name.
The ash ligature - æ - was, by contrast, almost disappointingly easy.
