Can someone please translate the French article on this subject into English?

The French version does appear vastly superior. I have read, as it implies in the article by saying the Greek numeric value is 900, that this letter was actually the end of the Greek alphabet, coming after Omega before becoming obsolete. Nagelfar 22:50, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Because T-shaped alphabetic Sampi was introduced recently to Wikipedia, I think that it is in T-shape not corrupted, but fully fledged letter. For proof look into Sampi article to compare alphabetic T-Sampi and numeric C-Sampi. As you see, T-Sampi is more like russian П and too Greek PI, with addition of |, while C-Sampi is more like russian Э and too Greek LUNATE EPSILON, with addition of -. In this way T-Sampi should be primary, and C-Sampi secondary. 91.94.153.30 (talk) 16:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
