About this symbol
Greek capital alpha looks exactly like the Latin A, but it is a separate character in Unicode so that Greek text sorts, searches and changes case correctly. The likeness has a darker side: look-alike letters from other alphabets are used to fake web addresses, a trick browsers now try to catch.
