And can you blame us? My keyboard does not have theta on it.

If he'd used uppercase-T instead, then we'd use it.

As is often the case, Knuth solved that problem too, by inventing TeX half a century ago. Now we just need LWN to implement server-side KaTeX rendering.

I will also add that GNOME Characters is a search provider, so you can enable it then just hit Meta and type "theta" and it'll return all the Unicode codepoints with "theta" in their names, arrow down to select and paste in. Very handy.
