Like the euro, pound and cents sign previously requested, those are not
part of the HTML1 alphabet so may be inconsistent depending on the
user's typeface. Unfortunately, the ess-zed sent by many German
keyboards is not the beta which is very similar and standard. As a
result, if you send beta to a German, it will seem right, but his
ess-zed will probably be wrong to you.
Many characters which look similar or identical have different ASCII
values in at least some alphabets. Hyphen and en-dash are obvious
examples, but there are more. E-mailing from MSWord to anyone not using
that program often stumbles on those.
