PHP library for converting SPIonic-encoded ASCII strings to Unicode.

SPIonic is a public domain font that represents [ASCII](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII "ASCII - Wikipedia") characters as Greek letters and diacritics. It uses a scheme based on [Beta Code](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_code "Beta Code - Wikipedia") with a few variations, the most significant of which is that uppercase letters are represented by uppercase letters and lowercase by lowercase (whereas Beta Code uses `*A` for uppercase alpha and `A` for lowercase alpha). This package will convert Greek written using this scheme into Unicode Greek characters.

Hosted version is available at .
