Dear all,
I'm currently using Origin 2017 Academic version, on a virtual machine on a mac (Windows 7 Enterprise SP1).
The problem I am facing in the following: some symbols in the symbol map appear as white squares (for example permil). Even writing the ASCII code does not provide the symbol. Is there some package, update or anything to do to access these missing symbols ?
Thank you, |

Hi,
Did you try LabTalk function "char" (char(137)$ for permil)? I've used col(1)[1]$=char(137)$; in script window, as well as to put in Set value... (char(137)$), it works in both cases. However, using char(137)$=; in Command window fails to show right symbol. Best,
Nikolay |

Hi Flopi,
The symbol of the "per mille"(‰) is not included in the ASCII table, though it's a part of unicode characters.
Origin 2017 has a limited support of unicode only for text label via hexadecimal code; e.g. \(x2030) for ‰.
You can enter such unicode character in a text label by using the symbol map by turning ON the "Unicode" check
box there, then selecting the Unicode-enabled font such as Arial Unicode MS.

P.S. Hex 137 also shows the per mille character because it is luckily assigned in Windows Latin1 ANSI encoding
(but not in ASCII - it is ë). |

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. However, it did not solve my problem (or I didn't do it right).
I'm enclosing a screenshot to show you where the problem lies.

Hi Flopi,
As I wrote above, you need to select unicode-adopted font such as Meiryo UI, Arial Unicode MS, etc. , but Symbol is NOT.
Popular fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, etc. also cover some part of unicode.
