Hello,
How can I get the right display of the character
Σ
with nedit?
I doubt it has much to do with your "nedit" - but probably much more
with your keyboard settings.
Provided you have xmodmap installed: I'd nearly bet this command
will result in nothing on your OS:
xmodmap -pke | egrep -i sigma
Here's what I get:
xmodmap -pke | egrep -i sigma
keycode 39 = s S s S Greek_SIGMA Greek_SIGMA U017F U1E9E s S
and this is Sigma here:
Σ
This is how I set it up, for the current session:
xmodmap -e "keycode 39 = s S s S Greek_SIGMA Greek_SIGMA U017F U1E9E s S U017F
U1E9E"
Long time ago I had a page, with hints on how to set up a keyboard -
only the archived version is still available:

How:
xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmodmap # This is your current keyboard settings piped into
# ~/.xmodap - but if this file is already there, back
# it up before doing anything
Start xev in a terminal, type 's' - check the keycode number - if it's
e.g. 39, have a look to your ~/.xmodmap you created before, search for the
"keycode 39 = "line
If it looks like this:
keycode 39 = s S s S U017F U1E9E U017F U1E9E s S U017F U1E9E
you might be able to change it by doing this:
xmodmap -e "keycode 39 = s S s S Greek_SIGMA Greek_SIGMA U017F U1E9E s S U017F
U1E9E"
To go back to default:
xmodmap ~/.xmodmap # Remember above: 'xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmodmap'
Depending on your Desktop Env. you might be able to change there your
keyboard output.
Read man xmodmap. Please don't copy the commands above without
checking before what they do ...
And be very careful with your keyboard: you need its settings to type
e.g. passwds ....
