greek delta in annotate dataset

[saibot]

Dear SAS Users,

here: https://communities.sas.com/message/144788 it is discribed, how a µ can be inserted in a Graph. When I use in ANNOTATE the statement

%label(50 , 90 , "Test : %sysfunc(byte(948),$1.) = %sysfunc(byte(181),$1.)2"  , black , 0 , 0 , 1.5 , 'Arial' , 5)

then the µ is printed, but for the delta, I get the warning

"WARNING: An argument to the function BYTE referenced by the %SYSFUNC or %QSYSFUNC macro function is out of range."

How can I get the small delta? I got the code 948 for delta from the following page, which is also cited in the link above:

http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~tomw/java/unicode.html#x0080

Thank you in advance and best regards

Edit: The same warning appears if I insert use %sysfunc(byte(963),$1.) to insert a small sigma. Can you also help me with that greek letter?

Here's one way to do it, using SAS/Graph annotate ...

data my_anno;

xsys='3'; ysys='3'; hsys='3';

x=50; y=50; size=8;

function='label'; style='albany amt/unicode'; text='2206'x;

run;

title ls=5.0  "Here is the Greek delta symbol:";

proc gslide anno=my_anno;

run;

Thank you, Robert, for the answer.
I got the large Delta from your example. Can you tell me how to get a small delta and a small sigma? Or can you tell me where I can find a table with the 'albany amt/unicode' letters? It is not so easy to find such a table with google...

ods escapechar='~';

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;

symbolchar name=sym1 char=delta_l  / rotate=180 textattrs=(Weight=Bold);

yaxis label="Test : %sysfunc(unicode(δ, ncr)) = %sysfunc(unicode(µ,ncr))2";

xaxis label="~{unicode '03B4'x}";

scatter x=weight y=height  / markerattrs=(symbol=sym1 size=15pt);

run;

If you're on Windows, you can run the 'Character Map' program, and then select the 'Albany Amt' font, and then look through all the characters. When you click on a character, you'll see the numeric code at the bottom of the window. I'm attaching a screen-capture below, so you'll know what to expect...

I checked the character map, but for the big Delta from your example, there is written: U+0394. I don't see the connection to text='2206'x in your example

I am sorry, it works. It seems that there are several possibilities to get a big Delta. Thank you both for the good tipps! Great!
