HI
How can I make a variable like
3Io:=75A
I don't want `3Io or ~3Io .3Io
Thanks

Attached is the Prime 3.1 file.
The same trick works in Prime 4.
ctrl+shift+k
space
ctrl+shift+k
Does not work for Prime 4.0 - ok for mathcad 15
It's possible to use special characters in variables by first putting them in quotes, then deleting the quotes. However, I don't think this trick works to get a variable starting with a number. I just tried in P3.1 and it didn't work. Perhaps P4.0, but I doubt it.
No it does not work unfortunately.
The following special characters look like 3's and are accepted as the first character of a variable (quotes trick needed): З Ӡ Ʒ ʒ
I'm sure it's not what you were looking for, but the best work-around I could find.
Looks ok! - is there and ansi code I can use to generate this ?
The first is:
U+0417 | З | Cyrillic Capital Letter Ze |
However, it does not have a keystroke (Alt+Numpad) shortcut.
The others are similar.
I think the easiest thing to do is copy the character to your clipboard and paste as necessary.
Paste results in ? not 3.

First type quotation marks, then paste the З, then delete the quotation mark.
After that, I'd copy the variable name and paste it where needed in equations.
I also like Luke's solution. I was unaware of ALT+0173.
