The syntax to use Unicode characters varies wildly, depending on where in SAS one uses them. 

SAS/GRAPH titles require a different syntax than SAS/GRAPH legends, which is again different from what ODS Graphs understands, which is also different from what ODS reports need.

Here is a summary of my findings. I am just displaying an exponent here, like this:

Graph

HTML

PDF

RTF

ODS Graphs seem to behave differently than when I last tested these syntaxes. Oh well...
