Exactly. Write "α/β/ω" if you want it to be read correctly, or at least "A/B/Ω" (the A and B are Latin homoglyphs and everyone should know how to read/write/type the capital omega because of electrical resistance). Similarly, zero-crossing detection, three-letter acronyms etc. should be abbreviated with digits.
But arent you taught that in school?
No, not without taking an optional class in high school
In my country until years after you are taught that you cant get optional classes
I took computer science class in Germany and currently study the same at university and I have no fucking clue what the code for Omega is and frankly I don’t think I should.
