I confirmed that this doesn't work in XP with LV8.2 (that's all I had installed). What happens if you open this vi? It should look about like the screenshot I posted above, but with each character in its own comment/constant.

I pulled the attachment because it appears to have done some weird things...when I closed it, it crashed LV with this error:

When I relaunched LabVIEW, the other VI that I had opened looks like it has been converted to Japanese (the block diagram too)!!!

I don't have time to try to reproduce the issue now, but it looks like there might be a bug here somewhere. If you want to play with it AT YOUR OWN RISK here is the VI.

It's work for me in XP with LV8.6.1

I also notice that if I change to Hex display, the hex is C603. But... if I entered C603 in Hex display mode I got (text removed) when I come back to Normal display.

I opened the VI and I see the Phi Symbol

Why does that work?

It did on my system, but if you change the font size and add a roman letter to the same text strip (say phi + f), you'll mess it up (XP, 8.6) and get something similar to pdc's odd characters.

If you don't need to change it programmatically, I would suggest you use a picture of Phi instead of string... I've fought with them in LV7 and gave up.

Could you create a picture control, display the text you want and superimpose on your column header? That looks more and more like Bob's suggestion to Chris!

I have also Posted on NI discussion forum

I still can't insert phi into LabVIEW so I have to download the posted VI, and copy and paste phi into a free label into my LabVIEW. I can then super impose the free label in the column header.

Ugly but it works
