It is working for me.
I think the problem lies at your keyboard installed languages.

I don't have a number pad for alt-codes and had my own troubles in this thread. I usually use the quick reply window, too, for text-only posts. Hopefully this advanced stuff works:
±°Ω²ǁβμθλ≤≈√π

Cool. Even the superscripts!

 

[Salas]

Excellent solution then. All the cool letters we see in frat movies and more!

Hey, if you can't write Greek characters, what for the rest of us !

Oh superscripts, whith my keyboard configuration is hard, but works !

Oh Salas, illustrious glory of Athens. (It's that I read many times the Iliad)

Thanks for your help !

Give my regards to Jason.

Thank Cal, he did the research.

OMG. I forgot Cal.

Perhaps he would be so familiar that I always forget him.

Andrew, Google is your friend

Here's Greek letters
ALT Codes - Alt Codes for Greek Letters

Hey Cal, Thanks !

My keyboard has ñ Ñ, so some shortcuts don't work, but also helpful advices.

Π π φ Φ γ Γ Λ λ μ ρ

I copied post21 and pasted that here

I wonder what will appear?
How do I type in the code for that post21 script?

 

[AndrewT]

µ is alt+0181
what is Pi,
what is delta?
The 4 number codes all seem to work (for me on my win7 PC), but I can't find a complete listing of the 4number codes.
I can't get any of the 3 number codes to work. Is my PC set up incorrectly?

Please see my post: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/forum-problems/231371-greek-letters.html#post3445946

1) Go to wordpad (windows key + run, type "wordpad", press enter)
2) Type "3c0"
3) Press and hold the ALT key and while holding it down, press X

Alternatively, if you have a "full" keyboard with a number pad, you can probably "ALT + 03c0" but I can't test that for you.

Here is a listing of unicode characters, which appear to work (no guarantees - surprising they work actually because vBulletin 3 doesn't support unicode natively, and the charset is set to latin, but they seem to work fine?):

Unicode Characters in the Greek and Coptic Block

Look for the "How to type in windows" line in any character you are looking for.

| (vertical bar) = alt+0380
blank (nothing) = alt+03c0

 

[Mooly]

It works in Wordpad (W7) but it won't copy and paste as here,
π

I find the same for some of the characters in the Windows character set. They won't copy and paste into the forum while odd ones just paste as totally different.

 

[sofaspud]

Copy & paste was the problem I had earlier. So I used Character Map and font commands to type post #23. I think if you hit the quote button in that post you can see the code. For π I changed the font size to make it comparable the the other characters.

 

[Mooly]

Thanks Yes it does show in the quote

(by the cringe its much easier to type pi than faf about)

 

[s3tup]

I tend to use "3" instead of π. Works flawlessly and stays within tolerances of the parts used along with π

 

[Mooly]

π I can do it now.

An idea... how about compiling a notepad document with all the symbols we use. It can be a lot quicker just opening such a sheet when needed and copy and pasting the code into the forum.

Uh, you're right, these mil-aerospace engineers... They use π≈4 for headroom in reliability

Try the wordpad route. The forum should definitely have a little panel to insert these characters!

 

[AndrewT]

But the 4number code works directly.
try alt+
0128 €
0136 ˆ
0137 ‰
0176 °
0177 ±
0181 µ
0188 ¼
0189 ½
0190 ¾
0247 ÷
and dozens of others.
