Coptic Unicode Font

The International Association of Coptic Studies commissioned a unicode font which is now available in a stable version called Antinoou. The beta version was known as Keft. I have created a digital keyboard which is free and works well with MS Word. You can download it from my Coptic digital resources webpage. In a few months, I hope to update the keyboard to include Old Nubian characters.

UPDATE: This is apparently the final beta version, and not the final release. A few minor wrinkles remain to be ironed out.

Thanks! The font is fairly attractive to boot.

Does the keyboard feature the staurogram character?

My keyboard has the staurogram ⳨ under [SHIFT + b].


The membership of this blog is made up of evangelicals involved in academic study of textual criticism. Those with appropriate expertise and theological convictions who wish to be considered for membership should contact Peter Head or Tommy Wasserman. Those applying for membership must indicate that they have read either the OT or the NT in its original language(s), should be actively involved in text-critical research, and should be already contributing to the blog through comments. They should give e-mail details of an academic and a pastoral referee, a summary of their academic and/or ministry involvement, a statement of their doctrinal commitment (which may be by reference to various classic evangelical statements of faith, e.g. 39 Articles, Westminster Confession), and an indication of their area of interest within textual criticism. Non-members who wish to comment are not expected to be evangelical, but they are requested to respect the blog's ethos.
