Hello,

How can I insert or add new special characters in Mathcad?
How can this be done?
For example to extend the greek tab with the hat character, but also others.

For example, I would like to add the following character - hat:

    Thank you.

    It is a good idea, but I was interested in whether you can insert that special character (for example the hat, but also other characters) directly from a Mathcad tab.

    But as an idea, if there is no other variant or other idea / illuminating solution from any other user, it is a very good solution to try when I need to insert various special characters and which are not found directly in Mathcad.

    Thank you very much.

    I assume you are using real Mathcad (MC15 or below).

    You can't edit or extend the characters available on the greek palette or any other

    You may try to copy characters from other software, maybe additionally using the Ctrl-K "trick" when creating a variable name. On program you might find very useful for doing so is the system program "charmap".

    I could not find the p with the hat there (and obviously Valery wasn't able to do so either). So when it comes to create new letters using diacritic characters it may get more complicated.

    There were some old threads here in the forum that explained how to do it, but on my system with a different language setting I was never able to duplicate the effects shown in those threads.

      I use Mathcad 15.


      Letter p was just an example (it could be another letter or even a number, does not matter).
      The question and point were that: it is possible to add, for example, to a letter a hat (but also another character, like in word?

      Дело в шляпе (Matter with the hat) - in the bagone's best bet!

      This is what we say in Russia when the answer to a difficult question has been found, when something has been done

       

      It was not only the judges who drew lots from the hat. Indeed, why go to them - and far, and troublesome, and literacy is required, and the litigation will drag on for a long time, and the money will be paid - if it is possible to resolve all issues on the spot and in a business-like manner. This is how the ancient Jews clarified their claims. , the same custom spread throughout Russia and was observed for a long time. Whoever pulled out a happy "tag" got the right to do something - selling a product, purchasing something, receiving an order, or something else, conceived by lot. The hat, thus, gave hope for something conceived..
