Hi Eric,
Thanks for your speedy reply, I should have noted that I'm using a Linux machine. However, when I copy the symbol from Windows to Linux (using R/emacs) via an x-win 32 window it replaces the per mille symbol with a /211. R then produces the character (not a per mille symbol!) that can be found in the equivalent place using character.table() in the Hmisc package. I'd use windows, except we have huge output datasets generated by a climate model, and its not possible to move it to a machine running windows.
Any other suggestions are welcome!,
If postscript output is sufficient, the following trick should work ...
postscript(encoding="WinAnsi.enc") plot(1:10, ylab="\211") dev.off()

Hi Matthew,
Most systems allow to enter any ASCII (or extended ASCII) character directly using a key combination.
Accessing ANSI charcaters under Windows is possible with:
ALT+0xxx (press ALT, hold it down, press 0 and the number of the character, release ALT)
Thus: ALT+0137 makes: ?
The future seems promising with the Unicode support: kudo R core team!

Hi all,
Is it possible to add a permil (or per mille) symbol to an R plot (I couldn't find this symbol under demo(Hershey) or the plotmath information).
In some ascii tables it is symbol no. 137.
cheers,
Matt.
