Hi Karen, The \odot is the correct way to do this, but whether it works depends on the font you are using. The \odot in giza is rendered using the Unicode "Sun" symbol, so you need a font that has most of the utf-8 symbols. Otherwise you will get a square, as you find. The best way is to install the STIX fonts:
http://www.stixfonts.org/install.html then you can set the font using export GIZA_FONT='StixGeneral' and proceed with splash as usual. An example done this way with splash is shown in Figure 2 of this paper: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012MNRAS.423L..45P A not-very-elegant workaround is to just print the marker symbol 9 (a dot with a circle in it), which can be done with text as follows: Log \Sigma_{gas} [M_{\m9}pc^{-2} The result is not as nice but it does give you something like a solar mass symbol (I also just found a bug in that this appears to tilt the remaining text by 90 degrees which is a bit weird, will fix that...) Let me know if either of those work for you.
