hi, i'm trying to include some greek characters in my package documentation, but am having difficulty getting it to work on windows. it works find on macOS, linux, but throws errors on windows: https://win-builder.r-project.org/guwReC6lhQaU/00check.log so far i have tried: ? \u03C9 \omega \eqn{\omega} \symbol{"03C9} \enc{?}{omega}
The latter is right in principle, but two issues:
1- you use it in an .R file which should no assume a special encoding. I
do not use roxygen2, hence don't know how it can work at all, I'd simply
do it in the Rd file directly.
2- Thge LaTeX version on winbuilder cannot deal with an UTF-8 omega
symbol. Hence I'd rather write
\eqn{\omega}{omega}
or to square it:
\eqn{\omega^2}{omega^2}
Best,

i have `Encoding: UTF-8` specified in my DESCRIPTION i have read: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html#Encoding-issues https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html#Encoding https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html#Insertions any tips on how to get these symbols into documentation on windows? i'd even by happy with it just saying 'omega' on windows (which is what i thought \enc{}{} was supposed to do). apparently i'm missing something. with thanks jonathon
