I am creating a grouped bar chart using a datalattice layout in which I would like to have unicode symbols ({unicode '2265'x} in particular) appear in the area of the graph populated by the "columnvar=" variable. While getting unicode symobls to appear in titles and footnotes is fairly simple, none of those methods seem to work when the "symbol" is contained in the input data.

Exactly which version of SAS do you have? (The reason I ask is that there were some recent fixes in supporting unicode symbols in certain roles in SAS/Graph recently.)

Also, which proc are you wanting to use (for example, are you using gchart, and trying to annotate the symbols?)

SAS Version: 9.2 (TS2M0)

I am using proc template and proc sgrender.

Ahh - I only know the unicode symbol details in the "traditional" SAS/GRAPH procs (gplot, gchart, gmap, etc). I'll have to let Dan/Sanjay/etc answer this one! 🙂

Hi,

We do not currently support unicode escapes in strings that come from data columns, which is your case here.

Please open a request with SAS Technical Support to add a suggestion for this feature.

Regards,

Dear Prashant,

As this discussion is almost 2 years old, do you know if this feature was requested or even implemented in the meanwhile? I have posted a closely related problem and in fact the technical solution may be the same (I want to use unicode symbols in a scatterplot which are defined through a column in the dataset used for the markercharacter).
