If is the ranges of greak letters to be supported, the treatment
of final sigma (U+03C2) which is interposed between rho (U+03C1)
and sigma (U+03C2) should be considered well.
For capital letters, the corresponding code point (U+03A2) is
reserved (i.e. unassigned).

And greek-aware people may complain that stigma (U+03D[AB])
or digamma (U+03D[CD]) isn't treated as the sixth letter
following epsilon.

P.S. 11 is represented by iota-alpha, not by kappa,
with the greek numeral system.
