is incorrect and almost certainly unnecessary. If I paste an upper case Omega % Ω into a LaTeX file and run pdflatex on it I am told the character is not set up for LaTeX. \$ albatross tells me it is available in the DejaVu Sans font which I have installed. It is sour, but in general even

I just have a really large list of UTF-8 characters and if I need one I copy it and zap it in. I suppose this is not cool but, chacun a son gout. a fun site if you want to write someone in UTF-8 runes. https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt ⅩⅩⅥ - Ⅷ - ⅯⅯⅩⅩⅢ -- ☢ ➛ ☠ ➛ ♺

LaTex Unicode entry issues

I'm necessarily working with a pdfLaTeX document. I seem to recall from long ago that I could enter Unicode in this way: 002B Now it returns the error: "not set up for use with LaTeX." What does this error imply? This code works to produce an astrisk: \char"

Re: LaTeX - Newer REVTEX on Debian ?

Hello, my guess was that the bbl must be updated. Namely, compose with apsrev4-2.bst (or one among the others). I would check which one is actually used in the aux or blg file, and I would check which one is actually pickup with kpsewhich(1). For instance, you can try from a terminal: kpsewhich
