I added more unicode block info for ancient languages. I think we should include refs. to current fonts - both ones specially developed for Greek/Latin also standard fonts that have most of Unicode. Is it worth mentioning that it's important to use the correct unicode character and not just a similar one? (ex Greek number sign/apostrophe, or Lunate sigma/C) Also mention that there are keyboard shortcuts on all OS to type unicode directly.
