Adding ≥, ≤ to a footnote

ANKH1 — Tue, 02 May 2023 21:37:02 GMT

I need to add the symbols ≥, ≤ to a footnote. Example of the footnote: "Abbreviation ≤" I tried this and didn't work.

ods escapechar='\';
footnote1 j=l font=arial "abbreviation \{unicode '2264'x\}";

Hmmm, this seems to work for me in SAS 9.4. Do you have any more information about where it's not working?

ods escapechar='/';
proc report data=sashelp.cars;
column make mpg_city;
define make / group ;
define mpg_city / analysis mean ;
footnote1 j=l font=arial "abbreviation /{unicode '2264'x\}"; 
run;

Thanks for responding. Still does not print the symbol. What it prints is "Abbreviations &#x'2264"X/;" I am using SAS studio.

It seems SAS Studio handles this differently; when I just use the number, it prints.

ods escapechar='^';
proc report data=sashelp.cars;
column make mpg_city;
define make / group ;
define mpg_city / analysis mean ;
footnote1 j=l font=arial "abbreviation ^{unicode 2264}";  
run;

Great! That solved it for me. Thank you so much!
