Just a test to see if I configured Knode correctly, but might
as well make it worthwhile ;-)
I'm very pleased with the release so far and have run into no
problems (exception: TPM on laptop, but that's something for
bugzilla).
4:47 p.m.
Probably because it looks similar to β when looking at keyboard map :-)

yeah ß is not an β
alt gr + s writes ß ( but this is not an beta )
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F#Graphically_similar_letters
However, the reverse substitution of using German "ß" as a surrogate
for Greek "β" once was common when describing beta test versions of
application programs for older operating systems
not the case (older operating systems) , but I don't know type one beta
character

One way is C-S-u 0 3 b 2 Space
what you mean by C-S-u ? can't figure out
Not entirely convenient or memorable.

what you mean by C-S-u ? can't figure out
ctrl-shift-u followed by a zero, a 3, a b, a 2, and a space.
try it at a terminal prompt, follow it with a space, and see what you get.
I get a beta.

yeah, I failed to mention I was using Mate Terminal, which is probably
derived from Gnome-2 terminal. Didn't try it in LibreOffice, but glad
to hear that it works. I did try it in vi (vim) where it didn't seem
to do anything.

I used to use GNOME 2 exclusively, I think the best version of GNOME was
2.4.2.
When GNOME 3 was foisted on us, I initially fled to xfce, now I've been
on Mate for a few years.
With LibreOffice 5.1.x you can also use <Ctrl>X, see:

For those that remember entering decimal ascii codes on the number pad
in Windows, this is the new and improved version of that. Ctrl-Shift-u
switches to Unicode entry mode where you can enter the hex code of a
Unicode character. You don't need the leading zero. Pressing enter or
space completes it or ESC cancels it. I don't know which software level
handles it, maybe it's a GTK thing. You can look up the hex codes using
the Character Map application.

I never knew that there was a real beta character! es-zett is
easy to type: just right-alt-s. How do you type the Greek beta
from the keyboard (I use US dead keys—always and exclusively)?
