Re: [R] Is there a plotmath symbol \mapsto?
Dear Professor Ripley,
Thank you for your reply.
Do you specify \u21A6 via something like this?
plot(1, main=expression(symbol("\u21A6")))
This gives an the 'registered trademark symbol' (circled R) for me
(also cairo-based Linux).
Thanks and cheers,
Marius

The only symbols plotmath has access to are those in the Adobe Symbol encoding. You can display all of those using the example at the bottom of ?points, as ?plotmath did tell you. (So it was a rather rich asking for an example.) It also tells you that on some devices/platforms you can use Unicode escapes.
