Hi,
The following simple solution gives appropriate results in base R (and
should work with any base character):
plot(rnorm(100), rnorm(100), main = expression(paste(omega, "\u0308")))
It doesn't work for me on Mac OS or Windows 10 in the default device or
pdf(). The trouble with Unicode solutions is that R graphics devices
aren't required to support it.

In your ggplot example, something like:
ggplot(data, aes(x=X)) + geom_line(aes(y = Z), size=0.43) + xlab
(expression(atop(top, bold(Age~paste(omega,"\u0308")))))
seems to produce what you need (AFAICT).
Note that, contrary to Robert's examples, one has to put
the corresponding diacritic AFTER the base character in unicode
conventions. Also, one needs to put the omega and "\u0308" within a
paste() function in order to concatenate them correctly and to reach a
state in which they "combine" together.
Inserting this into your own code, the characters are not bold though
and I'm not sure what the solution would be. This may be an issue with
the font that is used. Also note that in order to export the graph to
pdf, you'd need to use cairo_pdf() in order to get the character
displayed correctly.

Thanks, Duncan!
This works for the particular case and is, to my mind, a great
solution!
However, I was wondering: is it possible to use these double dots
with another character, such as omega?
I apologize for changing the question somewhat, but I did not realize
earlier that there were separate codes for putting double dots over
different letters and I thought that figuring out the simpler
question would be enough for me to figure out the next step.
Thanks again!
Best wishes,
Ranjan

Hi
I just had to do something similar in windows with \"{u}. Try
Unicode symbol
- see ?plotmath
ggplot(data, aes(x=X)) + geom_line(aes(y = Z), size=0.43) +
xlab(expression(atop(top,bold(Age~"\u00e4"))))

Hi,
Is it possible to display double dot (umlaut) over a character
such as
would be possible using \ddot x in LaTeX? I can do this using
tikzDevice but I wanted something simpler to point to.
Here is an example of what I would like to do, but it is not
quite
there:
require(ggplot2)
data<-as.data.frame(c("a","b","c","a","b","c"))
colnames(data)<-"Y"
data$X<-c(1:6)
data$Z<-c(1,2,3,1,2,3)
ggplot(data, aes(x=X)) + geom_line(aes(y = Z), size=0.43) +
xlab(expression(atop(top,bold(Age~"à"))))
I would like to put in a double dot over the "a" in the x-axis
instead
of "`".
Many thanks for any suggestions and best wishes,

You haven't told what OS you are using, but with Windows OS, you
can get the 'ä' by making sure the NUMLOCK key is on, hold down
the alt key and press 0228 on the numeric keypad.
I am sorry, I use a linux operating system. I use Fedora 25 but the
student I wanted to show this uses Ubuntu, though I don't know if
the distribution matters.
Thanks again for your help, and best wishes,
Ranjan
