Our Gentium font supports all of the Greek and Extended Greek blocks. See

  Most browsers do not support Toned Greek Capital Vocals and
  I can't find this code in Uni-Coding.  If you can read greek
  the letters I'm reffered to are: Έ , Ά , Ύ , Ό , Ώ , Ί
  and Ή .  Is there a code that I can't find?

First of all, please don't misinterpret UTF-8 as CP1252 and then convert
that into UTF-8; that just causes problems.

Secondly, how were you able to include those characters in your mail if you
couldn't find them?

Finally, this has nothing with browsers to do; it is caused by the fact that
many people don't have any font supporting those characters. If browser
means a web browser, I'd suggest that you ask the page visitors to
download appropriate fonts.

But you did provide Unicode code points for these seven letters in your
message:

ΈU+0388
ΆU+0386
ΎU+038E
ΌU+038C
ΏU+038F
ΊU+038A
ΉU+0389

Other letters with tonos can be found in the Greek and Coptic block at
U+03xx, in the Greek Extended block at U+1Fxx, or by adding U+0301
COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT to a base vowel.

As far as the browsers are concerned, it is likely that most *browsers*
can handle these letters just fine but many *fonts* do not include
glyphs for them.  Go to www.unicode.org and click on Display Problems?
for more information.
