Hi all!

I built a tool that converts modern numbers into Coptic numerals, the Greek-derived system historically used by Coptic Christians in Egypt in liturgical and scholarly texts.

It outputs symbolic notation, full cardinal and ordinal names and supports masculine/feminine forms, also covering numbers from 1 to 999,999,999.

Would love feedback, especially from anyone familiar with Coptic liturgical numeracy or historical numbering systems.

I'm unsure what sub to post this on but I recently got a mystery jewelry jar and it came with a Ankh necklace. I looked it up and it seems to be an Egyptian symbol of life. I myself am not religious but I thought it was beautiful and I'd love to wear it as a symbol of life. My issues is simply not being religious or super educated on the Ankh. On one hand I saw people say it was okay to wear it but I don't want to be offensive because I'm a non religious white girl and I don't want to rub people the wrong way. Is it rude to wear one? (Please don't say "you can wear whatever you want!" I want to know if its morally okay and if its disrespectful because I know so little about it.

Hello, I'm making an alternate history map, and would like to know the Coptic version of the word Dardaju.

(Dār is an Arabic word meaning "home [of]" – the region was named Dardaju (Arabic: دار داجو, romanized: Dār Dājū) while ruled by the Daju)

So the word in English might be "Home [of] Daju."

If someone could also let me know how it would be pronounced/romanized, that would be great! 😁

I've been working on this for the past few days and I think its almost ready for a proper release... I would love any bug reports, feedback or suggestions, but hopefully it works nicely for everyone. :)

I'm thinking I will put it on itch.io and maybe a few other places.
