Can you please explain this in more detail? And what has the Google link to
do with this? The link shows the char U+03CC, which is "ό" by the way...
Summary: Some greek letters are misinterpreted by Mozilla under LInux. → Some greek letters are misinterpreted by Mozilla under LInux.
Reporter: If you do not provide futher information (see comment 1) I will close this report as WORKSFORME.
Here is a screenshot where you can see that Firefox does show some other letters (Korean?) instead of the Greek letters.

That isn't Korean, that's the fallback that xft uses when you have no font on your system that can represent a particular character. It shows the Unicode code point in a box, like this:

|--|
|03|
|CC|
|--|

Try installing the ttf-mgopen package (also available from http://www.ellak.gr/fonts/mgopen/)
Since the problem here seems to be missing fonts (or fonts missing particular characters) on the user's machine, I am now resolving this as INVALID.
