[vtkusers] unicode character in vtkTextMapper

[Noecker, Angela M.]

I want to show a micro symbol in a text annotation in a VTK window.
When I try using a unicode callout \u00B5 it shows up as the micro
symbol preceded by an A hat (don't know the real name).  It seems that
when I use the 16 bit unicode callout it's being translated to UTF-8
encoding which would be C2 B5.  Then it seems to be translated to
another encoding (to 8 bit?) and the 00C2 symbol shows up as the A hat
and the B5 shows up as the micro.

The same symbol shows up fine in all the Tcl windows.

Can anyone help me solve my problem?  The fact that I see the symbol I
want makes me feel hopeful that it's possible but how do I communicate
the information to the VTK window?

Thanks in advance.

Angela
