Can I use a different alphabet in Canvas?

[regan]

I teach Classical Greek online. Can I change to the Greek alphabet in quiz questions?

Greetings @regan ,

Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!

Are you by chance using Classic Quizzes or New Quizzes? With the classic version, you can use the RCE (rich content editor) to access the Greek alphabet. You are able to access these letters by clicking on the equation editor button, then click the 'Greek' tab and you'll have access to the entire Greek alphabet. When it comes to the new version, it doesn't seem that functionality with the Greek alphabet has been added yet. That being said, I'd stick to classic quizzes for now so the Greek alphabet letters work for you!

I hope this helps, always feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns!

All the best,
Noah

I'm using the Classic Quizzes, but I also need all the diacriticals - 3 accents, 2 breathing marks, the diaeresis, etc. (This is the first time I've uploaded a file, but here goes.) I need all of these.

If I could just specify the font to be used, I can type in Greek, but I need all of those diacriticals.

Hello @regan,

After coming across a tool in the Canvas "App Center" called "Special Characters" that has been made (for free) by Wye Learning, as directed by their support article at https://www.wyelearning.com/support/characters, I emailed their support@wyelearning.com email addresse and asked that they review this post and react in a way that they traditionally do for requests like this.
