The default font stack in Tailwind abuses system-ui and causes not a few problems. One of them is a bug in Yu Gothic UI, a system font for Japanese Windows, where the lowercase Cyrillic glyph for "и" is incorrectly assigned to the position of the uppercase Greek letter "Ω" only when in bold. This causes unintelligible display when viewing Greek pages or content related to resistance, regardless of language. w3c/csswg-drafts#3658 (comment)
Although now fixed, Yu Gothic UI had another bug until about six months ago where it unintentionally overlapped consecutive ideographic brackets (「」), leading to nonsensical displays on pages using Tailwind, such as ChatGPT. This forced Chromium to implement a specific fix to mitigate this bug for Yu Gothic.
The solution to that is simple: just ditch system-ui from your default font stack. If you only want the best appearance on Apple's OSes, -apple-system and BlinkMacSystemFont are sufficient. If you're unsure about font specifications for a regular page, sans-serif is sufficient. system-ui is a special font specification that truly shines only when your page:
Supports various languages,
Does not allow manual language changes from the OS language, and
Is displayed as part of a desktop application or an OS widget.
In Tailwind Play, the font stack for the selected version is not applied, and the one from the latest release is forcibly used instead, but I just tried it and confirmed that the bold Ω is displayed correctly as Ω.
For reference, I’ll post a screenshot of an example of actual harm. It’ll probably be fixed in a little while. When it is, I’ll take another one and post it again.
Q. Some title or heading in Greek that starts with Ω
🤔 I considered proposing Greek titles that start with Ω.
A. Here are several examples of Greek titles and headings that begin with Ω.
Word-based
Ωδή (Ode, “ode”) — often used in titles of poems or musical pieces
Ωκεανός (Ocean, “ocean”) — a grand, mythic-sounding word
Ωρα (Hour, “time”) — suitable for titles themed around time or a moment
Ωμέγα (Omega, “omega” itself, “end,” “ultimate”) — conveys the sense of a “final chapter” or “ultimate conclusion”
Phrase / heading style
Ω, τι ωραίο! (Oh, how beautiful!) — exclamatory, slogan-like
Ωσπερ ο Ήλιος (Like the Sun) — a poetic metaphorical expression
Ω Ζωή (Oh Life) — a poetic title in the form of an invocation
In terms of composition
Ω is the last letter of the Greek alphabet, so it carries connotations of “end,” “ultimate,” and “completion.” It works especially well for titles that want to suggest a final chapter, the conclusion of a series, or a work themed around the end of time. It is also often paired with α (alpha) in the fixed phrase Από το Α ως το Ω (From Alpha to Omega = “from beginning to end”).
If you can tell me the context (book title, logo, song name, etc.) where you want to use it, I can give you more specific suggestions.
