In the file U0370.pdf, describing Unicode 3.2, I find the following
03C6 GREEK SMALL LETTER PHI
. the ordinary Greek letter, showing
considerable glyph variation
. in mathematical contexts, the loopy glyph
is preferred, to contrast with 03D5
03D5 GREEK PHI SYMBOL
. used as a technical symbol, with a stroked
glyph
. maps to "phi1" symbol entities
Looking into Adobe's `Symbol' font (version 001.007, coming with
Acrobat Reader 4), I see exactly the opposite: `phi1' is the loopy
glyph, and `phi' is the stroked variant.
Either the Unicode charts are incorrect or `phi1' doesn't denote an
Adobe Glyph name or the Symbol font is wrong or ...
Please clarify.
