Entering Special Characters Such as Greek in Editor and Command Window?

19 views (last 30 days)
So I am trying to insert a special greek character in my .m script file to be displayed in the command window.
I tried using /omega but the character doesn't display. Here is the code where I am trying to use the actual symbol.
omegavalue = input('Enter the value of /omega');
How can I fix this? I am new to MATLAB programming language.

According to the documentation for sprintf, you can display any Unicode character with "\x" followed by its hex value. Then pass it into input:
input(sprintf('\x03c9'))

This requires R2014b or later; before that it typically did not work on MS Windows (but sometimes did). I am not positive it worked even with R2014b on MS Windows for certain.
