Opa! For Greek Americans to celebrate the 250th of the United States. Like Ancient Romans and Hebrews, letters had a dual role as numbers and letters, the idea to separate the 2 way beyond the mind mind of the primitive Hebrew, Greek, and Roman mindset. Inventing a separate symbol for numbers is like way to weird, just most of you think people who want to metric or create letter for the 'sh' and 'ch' sound in English are just plain nuts and should be deported. Likewise, if you went back in time and told the ancients about our base 10 number system with separate symbols they would most likely burn you at stake.
But note in Russian they do have letters for Shhh and Ch (as in Cheese or Sheeeeeet).
It is like the word spicy in American English. Does it mean picante hot or spicy with herbs. Nobody knows and we just go on with it, as it is with India people and Indian native to this land.
σνʹ =250!
