Greek curled beta

Post by stanlio »

Hi.

I'm trying to to find a way to type the cursive variant of the Greek lowercase beta (Unicode character U+03D0). So far, I haven't found any way to do so, and have just been defining this character as a normal beta.

The only place that talks about implementing at all gives it as ";b" accent, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it to work (it still gives me a normal beta instead, just with an accent). If anyone has a working example of it, or any other way to reproduce this character correctly, that would be splendid.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[greek,english]{babel}
\languageattribute{greek}{polutoniko}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\newcommand{\gr}[1]{\textgreek{#1}}
% TODO: Get curled beta to work correctly.
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{976}{β}

\begin{document}
Blah.\\
\gr{ἀμοιϐαδὸν} (w/curled beta)\\
\gr{ἀμοιβαδὸν} (w/normal beta)
\end{document}
Thank you.

(P.S. I'm using MiKTeX 2.7, if it matters.)
