Special Characters, Subscript, Superscript

[HN1111]

Sometimes special characters like oC, greek letters or subsripts/superscripts are needed for controls, graphs etc.. LV doesn't seem to have much improved on this over the last decades (I haven't checked LV 2014). The usual workaround is to copy the needed characters from other programs. This procedure is cumbersome. It would be nice if future versions of LV included such a basic feature.

If this is done, some bugs could be eliminated on the way. The portability of characters between different OS versions (i.e. Englich W7 and Korean W7) has also potential for improvement.

What is "oC"?

Ravens: I'm thinking "Degrees Celcius".

If it's indeed degrees, ° works well in my experience (alt+0176)  Should not need to superscript an O.  I have had trouble with the radical (√) in labVIEW but every other alt code I've used worked well.

° is just 167 on the Extended ASCII Table.  The radical is 251.  So both of those should show up without an issue in a normal string control/indicator.  You just might need to change to hex view to get them in properly.
