The Authentic Name

Why anánkē.com is the correct form

Greek

Ἀνάγκη

The name in its original Greek form. Ἀνάγκη carries the full phonetic and orthographic weight of the source tradition.

ASCII Constraint

ANANKE

Stripped of its identity, the name was reduced to plain Latin letters. The original orthography — stress, length, breathing — was erased by systems that only understand A-Z.

Unicode Restoration

Anánkē

The Unicode restoration recovers what ASCII destroyed. This is philological accuracy — not decoration. The domain encodes to Punycode, but the browser displays the truth.
