We do not maintain English names or translate characters to any other language. Rather, we observe the current Unicode standard definitions for character names/spellings. Those are the the Unicode standard's character names from the Greek & Coptic block of the Basic Multilingual Plane: Λ -- U+039B GREEK CAPITAL LETTER LAMDA λ -- U+03BB GREEK SMALL LETTER LAMDA:lambda But also, Unicode uses it in the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block of the Supplementary Multiligual Plane: 횲 -- U+1D6B2 MATHEMATICAL BOLD CAPITAL LAMDA 훌 -- U+1D6CC MATHEMATICAL BOLD SMALL LAMDA 훬 -- U+1D6EC MATHEMATICAL ITALIC CAPITAL LAMDA 휆 -- U+1D706 MATHEMATICAL ITALIC SMALL LAMDA 휦 -- U+1D726 MATHEMATICAL BOLD ITALIC CAPITAL LAMDA 흀 -- U+1D740 MATHEMATICAL BOLD ITALIC SMALL LAMDA 흠 -- U+1D760 MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD CAPITAL LAMDA 흺 -- U+1D77A MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD SMALL LAMDA 힚 -- U+1D79A MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD ITALIC CAPITAL LAMDA ힴ -- U+1D7B4 MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD ITALIC SMALL LAMDA And there are other code points that use the same spelling: ᴧ -- U+1D207 GREEK LETTER SMALL CAPITAL LAMDA (from Phonetic Extensions block) -- U+1038D UGARITIC LETTER LAMDA (from Ugaritic block) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
