Hello, I'd like to add labels to my plot that include a male or female symbol as subscript. I'm working in Windows Vista and R 3.0.0. I am able to add the male symbol to the plot as regular text (NOT as subscript), e.g. with: mtext("Male\u2642") This displays the word "Male" followed by the male symbol on the plot.
But "\u2642" does not work when I try to put it as a subscript. For example, mtext(expression("Male"["\u2217"])) successfully adds an asterisk as a subscript after the word "Male". However, mtext(expression("Male"["\u2642"])) displays the word "Male" followed by a subscript of "<U+2642>", i.e. the symbol is not displayed. How can I make the male symbol show as a subscript? Many thanks for any suggestions!
