Using Unicode Characters in PROC SGPLOT

Following a post by PageMiller, I tried using (*ESC*) to display unicodes but it did not not work. This is the code:

proc format;
value grade_f
1="Grade(*ESC*){unicode '0003'c}20 (*ESC*){unicode '0025'}"
2="Grade(*ESC*){unicode '2265'c}80 (*ESC*){unicode '0025'}";
run;

proc sgplot data=din;
vbox grade/category=grade_group;
format score_group grade_f.;
run;

Here are some Unicode blog posts including a few by me.

I notice a grade group and a score group variable. You need to reconcile that.

Hi!

I tried using what you suggested in your code:

proc format;
   value agefmt 1 = 'Age'
                2 = "< 12"
                3 = "(*ESC*){Unicode '2265'x} 12";
run;

By using (*ESC*) in my code but it did not work. Thanks, I corrected the variable to grade_group.
