Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): OriginPro 2015 (64-bit) b9.2.214
Operating System: Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit
I've been experiencing a character encoding problem since switching to 2015.
I have a bunch of labtalk scripts in individual .ogs files, which I pack in a .omc once in a while to distribute it to coworkers. Therefore I go to Tools -> Custom Menu Organizer and copy and paste the scripts from the Code Builder.
There are some literal µs in my labtalk scripts:
Which break once I save them in the .omc:
libmagic tells me that the labtalk scripts are encoded in latin1, while my .omc file is encoded in UTF8. So I checked whether previous Origin versions used different encodings, but it seems to have always been latin1 and UTF8. I tried to replace the broken µs manually with UTF8 encoded ones anyways, but they also break:
Best regards

Hi,
Can you try to change the line with greek symbol as:
col(2)[U]$=\g(m)A;
Give it a try and see how it goes.
Regards!

I have created ORG-13866, so we can investigate.

Hi Simon,
The issue you have reported is implemented in our newly released Origin 2016 SR0 and it is a confirmed bug in Origin 2015. It also well functions in Origin 9.1.
You can download an Origin 2016 free trial to see it from link below:

Regards!
Sean

That works for me. I don't understand however, in which contexts this escape sequence is interpreted, as it is not when I enter the following in a command window:
test$=\g(m);
test$=;
> \g(m)

If this is a regression bug, are you not going to fix it in 2015 too? I am on a students license and I don't think I am eligible to upgrade to 2016 SR0 without buying a new license.

Escape notation can be visualized only in places where rich text can be displayed, like as text annotations on a graph, or in worksheet cells where rich text was enabled. By default, Units cell was enabled as Rich Text.

If you have a student version, you are entitled to new version free of charge as long as your student version has not expired. Just download the 2016 demo, install it on the same PC where you had installed 2015, and get license again. As long as same PC, you can have both 2015 and 2016 installed and both will work.
