Insert Greek Characters into string constant

[BillPadilla]

I would like to insert Greek characters into a string constant. This would be used for units like the ohms symbol in the table indicator and to be written into an Excel file.

It would be nice to have an insert symbol option like Excel or Windows.

Assuming a windows platform, you can do it, but you have to learn the keycodes for the ones you want to insert. To find out the keycodes you can use the Character Map accessory that comes with windows. Alternately, you can also copy amd paste them from the same tool.

Or the Symbol font turns corresponding characters in Roman characters into Greek characters.

IMO, until Unicode support http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Support-Unicode/idi-p/921449 (you can wote there for the feature) won't be implemented, copy/paste of those characters won't work properly.

I use the Symbols font, personally.

I tryed the symbols but I could not get the symbol I wanted. I might have experiment some more. I have been waiting for this feature to insert these characters since LV 4.0, been using LV since 2.0. It has come a long way since then. Can do a lot more stuff. I use the insert symbols feature for Excel and Windows often.

Can you post a screenshot of the symbol, or the unicode code of it? There's a pretty good chance somebody may help you based on that. (the Ohm symbols is a Greek W)

Wow.  LV2.0 on Mac II?  That's a quarter of century ago 😉
