In biblical studies, you need to be able to type biblical languages. Transliteration can work, but you can’t always bank on using it. Instead, use Unicode.

On the web:

• The SBL website now has a page with links to a number of program unit and seminar papers (HT: Charles Jones).
• Ohio State University has a special online exhibition about the King James Version (HT: Bill Warren).
• Zotero has seen a significant and a couple more minor updates over the past few days. The SBL citation style is also newly updated as of January 29.
• The W3 Consortium has a list of fraktur characters (e.g., for cases where they are used as text-critical siglia) and their corresponding Unicode character assignments. Among other fonts, Gentium Plus natively includes 1D510 (Majority Text) and 1D513 (Papyrus).
