Display special character for 'Artihmetic mean'

I can't find the character for 'Arthmetic mean', it's 'x' with a line above, any ideas!?

I've searched several font (Symbol, Wingdings etc) but didn't found that special character...!Smiley Indifferent

To save time trying to find the unicode of a special character, I usually copy-paste from the glorious wikipedia.

maths symbols

 

\bar{x} \!\,

Hi Ed,

 

yes that's a real glorious page.

 

But back to the problem, how can I place the (even unicode) char into a string indicator?!

Oh, I do apologise. I saw the character on wiki and assumed it was a character, rather than a graphic.

 

Usually, to create interesting unicode characters, you can combine diacritics. For instance, xbar is X followed by ¯;

 (might not display on unsupported browsers)

However LabVIEW doesn't support this, and will print x ¯ and I can't find any info on how else it might be implemented.

 

You might be able to find a hack in this document

And in the meantime, you can kudo this suggestion

You don't have to apologize, ED! I think my question was not clearly enough defined..Smiley Wink

 

I'm working with LabVIEW for about 10 years now, and still there is no possibility to visualize such symbols.

 

@ NI

Wouldn't this be a good functionality for new LV releases? Smiley Tongue
