Thanks for all the info. That website with all the codes is great. MJ

From the above list, we see that the symbol name we want is GREEK SMALL LETTER CHI, so: chi = u'\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER CHI}' will do the trick. For chi^2, use: chi2 = u'\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER CHI}\N{SUPERSCRIPT TWO}' Note that to print these characters, we usually need to encode them somehow. My terminal supports UTF-8, so the following works for me: import codecs print codecs.encode(chi2, 'utf8') giving (if your mail reader supports utf8 and mine encodes it properly...): χ² Zach Pincus Program in Biomedical Informatics and Department of Biochemistry Stanford University School of Medicine On Feb 20, 2007, at 3:56 PM, Mark Janikas wrote: > Hello all, > > > > I was wondering how I could print the chi-squared symbol in > python.
