Is it possible to use colan (:) symbol in literal subscripts for defining variable in Mathcad Prime directly ?

Not directly, as far as I'm aware.  I've tried a few workarounds, such as using a Unicode subscript colon, but there isn't a subscript colon.   However, one possible workaround uses a variant of the colon character.

The text string is: (@ID g (@SUB l꞉k))

 

Modify it as needed.

    You can use the usual colon character if you put the subscript text into double quotes

    A somewhat startling observation: If only part of the subscript text is set in double quotes, the order is changed

      Interesting. It further seems to strip spaces outside of quotes and possibly use the space as some form of grouping break.
