Origin 2016 (64 bit) and Service Release SR2
Operating System: Windows 10

Is there a way to put a bar or dot above a text character? I think I asked about this long ago (although I could not find it in search) and the answer was "no", but I wonder if it might have been implemented.

Thanks.

Hi,

After Origin 2018, you can enter Unicode easily. You just need to enter the Unicode 4-character hex code sequence (e.g. 03B8 for θ) and press ALT+X to convert. You can add combining over line (0305) and combining dot above (0307) this way as well. Please check this blog for details.

We have
We have escape sequence to do this
\ab(text) -- Display a bar above text.
\ad(text) -- Display a short line - a dot - above text.
\at(text) -- Display a tilde above text.

See this for more options https://www.originlab.com/doc/Origin-Help/Escape-Sequences#Escape_sequences_and_text_formats

In some recent new versions, you don't need to memorize these syntaxes any more. The re-designed text object dialog is more powerful.

Thanks for your reply on this sometime ago. It was helpful. Now I would like to know if there is a code for setting a hat (^) above a letter or symbol?

Hi, there is not an escape sequence for hat. so, in your version of Origin (2016) you will have to search the Symbol Map to find the character you seek.

Hello,

There is tip at the bottom of this page of how to add caret above a letter on this page.

But I don't think it's supported in 2016.

Thanks, Snow

Thanks. That would be useful. I have resisted upgrading, but maybe I will have to reconsider.
