st: Re: RE: Special character in a plot's legend
I just wanted to add to this by repeating a little code I posted last month
to address this issue of special characters that makes it quite simple to
find the ASCII code for the character you want and doesn't require changing
the results window font to match the graph window font.
set obs 223
gen asciin=_n+32
gen ascii=char(asciin)
gen x=int(asciin/10)
gen y=asciin-10*int(asciin/10)
tw scatter y x , mlab(ascii) mlabpos(0) mlabsize(large) ///
msymbol(i) yscale(range(-.5 9.5)) ylab(0(1)9,g angle(hor)) ///
xlab(3(1)25,grid) xti("First Digit(s) of ASCII Code") ///
yti("Last Digit") xsize(6) ysize(4) plotregion(margin(medium))
graph save asciiplot
This will give you a graph that shows each character in the current *graph*
font and lets you easily see its ASCII code based on the x and y axis
values. Note: make sure that the graph command hasn't wrapped strangely in
your email -- it should be four lines long with the first three lines each
ending in ///.

What's available to you is visible by setting the font
to that you want to use and displaying all possible characters
forval i = 1/256 {
di "`i' " char(`i')
}
Your first method should work in general (local sigma =, etc.).
"`char(228)'" will never work. You need to try "`= char(228)'".
