Re: How can I get an angstrom symbol in Octave?

[Brett Green]

Ah, I had been using the decimal values - that answers it! The en-dash is working now. Thank you very much!

Doug, your solution worked for me. This is a great relief - thank you!

Dmitri, thank you for the informative explanation and good questions. When I cut and paste "Å" into Octave, nothing appears in the terminal. If I run from a .m file with the character "Å" in the title, it instead prints "Ã..." where "Å" should be.

Doug, how did you find out that [char(195) char(133)] was the combination you needed?

I found it by trial and error and try again through different numbers. I still don't understand how it works!!!

You can go to

https://unicode-table.com/

Click on desired symbol

https://unicode-table.com/en/00C5/

And read the values in UTF-8 encodings (195 133).

So for em-dash (226 128 148). BTW you can use hex values as well.

So

title([char(0xE2),char(0x80), char(0x94)], "fontname", "cambria")

works for me.

Dmitri.
