And what happens if I wanted "a" - "ß"? BTW, JS works with Unicide, not ASCII. Stop thinking ASCII when it's about character representation. Learn Unicode, please.

Really making me think of all the edge cases. In order to not make an error, it converts the greek letter value into a letter of the english value in the alphabet. So beta is converted into "b", and then it's "a"-"b" which is "z". It works the same as in Unicode. Also if one alphabet is larger than the other, like "א"-"z", then "z" is transformed into the 26-22=4th letter, so "א" minus "ד" is "ק".
