You don't need the ": here, u: already produces characters.  

Also, my preference is for using hex notation to specify unicode code
points, because that's how they're generally documented and referenced
(and it makes it easier to google).  

So, instead of 955 923, I would say 16b3bb 16b39b .  If you know the
decimal code points but not the hex (or vice versa), you can use the
utilities in the 'convert' script to switch between bases.  For example:

   load'convert'
   
   hfd 955 923  NB.  hfd=Hex From Decimal
3BB
39B

   '16b',"1 tolower hfd 955 923  NB. J requires lowercase alphanum
16b3bb
16b39b

   }. ,' 16b',"1 tolower hfd 955 923  NB. Make vector
16b3bb 16b39b

   u: 16b3bb 16b39b 
??

pd 'ycaption ',":u:955 923

955 is small, 923 capital lambda.
