How to make Greek-containing tokens in minted, without XeTeX or LuaTeX?
I would like to use mixed Latin/Greek tokens (variable names) like helloδ in minted. To stay compatible with arXiv I cannot use XeTeX or LuaTeX.
Outside of minted, working with textgreek is my favourite way of getting good Greek characters. Is there a way to get the textgreek characters into a minted frame without using the escapeinside mechanism that interrupts the token lexing process? Here's a minimal example of what I don't want:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{minted}
usepackage{textgreek}
begin{document}
begin{minted}[escapeinside=||]{mask}
hello|textdelta|
end{minted}
end{document}
You can see that minted has broken up the variable name into a Latin part and a Greek part. The fancyvrb line generating the above output is
PYG{n+nt}{hello}PYG{esc}{textdelta}
Simply changing the appearance of PYG{esc} to match the rest of the token is not a good solution because the token helloδ may appear in different settings and require different appearances throughout the text. I would much rather know how to generate
PYG{n+nt}{hellotextdelta}
directly. Any other solutions are welcome too, of course.

That's most likely not a minted issue but a Pygments lexer issue. Maybe you should check what Pygments create and open an issue for Pygments.

Cool so it can't be too hard! What is your setup? I'm using TeXShop on MacOS. When I copy-paste Greek characters from the Wikipedia into the .tex source (assuming they are proper Unicode) I just get question marks in the PDF.

I did run pdflatex from a current texlive on windows, the file itself is naturally utf8 encoded. The python is older - I seldom use python and so don't maintain it like I maintain my texsystems.

As Ulrike has shown, the problem was neithermintednorpygments. It is simply that by default TeXShop does not read UTF-8 properly. See my answer below. Danke Ulrike!

The problem is neither minted nor pygments, but rather the TeXShop installation defaults. The solution is to set the first line (or any of the first 20 lines) in the .tex file to
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
to force the editor to handle the file in UTF-8. The details are in the TeXShop menu point "Help - File Encodings and TeXShop".
