The new note on using Unicode (UTÏ-8) to cite Greek text in messages  
sent to B-Greek makes official what the administrators have been  
telling list-members several times over recent months. So please

follow the Unicode text with a standard BG transliteration of the  
text in question into plain-text ASCII.

The revised section on citation of Greek text in the FAQ reads thus

have problems reading  or typing Unicode, such citations should at  
the same time be formulated in  BG-transliteration, in accordance  
with the following pattern:

         John 1:1 ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ  
λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν,  καὶ θεὸς  
ἦν ὁ λόγος.
         John 1:1: EN ARCHi HN hO LOGOS, KAI hO LOGOS HN PROS TON  
QEON, KAI QEOS HN hO LOGOS.

Transliterating Greek into plain-text ASCII in messages sent to B-Greek:

B-Greek has from the beginning allowed every poster to use any  
scheme ...
