Re: [R] Greek letters in column titles.
Expanding slightly on Ista's answer, this may help if you are using Windows and
want the symbol to appear in the console or in plots
beta - intToUtf8(0x03B2) # or intToUtf8(946)
a - 0:9
names(a) - paste0(beta, a)
a
β0 β1 β2 β3 β4 β5 β6 β7 β8 β9
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
plot(0:9, 0:9, typ=n)
text(0:9, 0:9, names(a))
You just have to figure out the utf8 code for the symbol you want. Windows
Character Map works for this and lets you insert the code directly as Ista did,
or any of the various web pages listing the codes.

Warning: The following may be baloney, so confirmation or correction
by those more knowledgeable is required. But maybe this will get you
started/prove useful. Just beware.
1. First of all, as Ista said, this can be done, but it is heavily
system dependent as to how. Basically I think you want access to UTF-8
encodings, which any modern OS should support, but that access is
dependent on your system.
2. It also depends on where you want to display the results -- on
screen, into a pdf, or ? .
3. See also The man pages on ?unicode and ?iconv , as these may also
be relevant.
Cheers,
