The Authentic Name

Why theōría.com is the correct form

Greek

Θεωρία

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

ASCII Constraint

THEORIA

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

Theōría

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