How to superscript a registered mark?

JohnChen_TW — Mon, 30 Nov 2020 02:09:18 GMT

Hi All,

I use SAS 9.4 and below is my code to superscript a registered mark:

ods escapechar='^';

^{super ^{unicode 24C7}};

But it is always presented as "subscript"...

Does anyone have suggestion?

Full code please? Is this used in a label, a title, a format, a text? Which output method?

Below is the full code:

options nodate nonumber papersize=A4 orientation=landscape topmargin="2cm" leftmargin="0.8cm" bottommargin="0.8cm" rightmargin="0.8cm" missing=" ";
ods escapechar='!'; footnote3 j=l;footnote4 j=l;

title1 j=l "!S={leftmargin=0in} Study: xxx"  j=r "Report: xxx";
title2 j=r "!S={leftmargin=0in} Date: xxx";
proc report data=work.have nowd split='|'
contents="xxx";
columns no a1 a2;
define a1 /display center style=[cellwidth=20mm] 'Subject No.';
define a2 /display center style=[cellwidth=20mm] 'Collection Date';						   
footnote1 j=l ht=9pt "Note: xxx Drug !{super !{unicode 24C7}}】" ;
run;

The superscript is used in a footer.

Thank you!

This works fine for me:

ods escapechar='!'; 
footnote "Note: xxx Drug !{super !{unicode 24C7}}" ;
proc print data=sashelp.class; run;

I use ODS HTML. What destination do you use?

RTF works too. PDF causes issues with the double escape on my old version(9.4m2).

footnote "Note: xxx Drug !{super !{unicode 24C7}}" ;
footnote2 "Note: xxx Drug !{super A}" ;
proc print data=sashelp.class; run;

The issue was caused when outputting PDF file as you shown.
Do you have any suggestion to superscript a symbol with double escape? Thank you!
BTW, I use 9.4 (TS1M7).

It's much better that you provide the information rather than we spend time guessing.

This looks like a defect to me. You should definitely contact Tech support.

In the meanwhile, have you tried using the symbol in the code?
