用法筆記
Sigma has two lowercase forms depending on position in a word: σ (medial, used everywhere except the end) and ς (final, used only at the end of a word). This distinction matters when writing Greek text. Outside of Greek-language contexts, sigma is most often seen in mathematical notation (Σ for summation) and statistics (σ for standard deviation).
