OK, on this linux box I can do as you said and copy the mu
a. i. 'μ' from a webpage,
and I get 206 188 as you did.
When I put it in the caption, it shows correctly as μ
when I use wd 'show'
but when I generate the .pdf plot, it appears as 1/4,
same as what you find. This is J801 Linux 64.

This is true on my Macbook Pro for both J602 & J802.

That's weird--it definitely doesn't work on J7, for a standard unicode
(UTF8) μ. The character ¼ shows up instead, and is represented in the
pdf by \274.
This is the UTF encoding of the character μ. You can easily copy-paste
the character from, for instance, the wikipedia page "Mu (letter)", and
a decent text editor should also provide some method of entering it
directly. Is the one you get with opt+m on a Mac different?
a. i. 'μ'
206 188
The pdf my version of plot outputs uses the "WinAnsiEncoding" to encode
letters. This is hardcoded in jzplot.ijs and the windows encoding
doesn't appear to have greek characters. I assume your output uses a
different encoding.
It would be really nice to convince plot to put arbitrary LaTeX in its
captions, but I don't know enough about pdfs or LaTeX to accomplish
this.
