Hi

-asciiplot- gives me the same characters reported by Leny: 178=^2 and 179=^3.  I suspect this is because my OS is Windows XP, whereas Kit is probably using a Mac or Unix.

Additionally, I have just noticed that Greek letters are available using the Symbol font.  This is useful if only characters available with this font are needed.

Hi Kit..Thanks for the comment. This is completely strange since the
'asciiplot' on my system shows 'char(178)' and 'char(179)' as '2' and
'3' respectively! I'm using stata V10.1, and have graph preferences
set to courier new.
The values using the display command is below.

. display char(179)
³

. display char(178)
²

When I checked the ASCII codes, I found the codes for \leq and \geq as
243 and 242 in the extended ASCII list. I must be overlooking
something, but it doesn't seem obvious!
