How to use symbols (units) in string?

Dear Cadence Community,

I have a small query.
How can we use unit symbols while printing a certain string?
e.g. 1kΩ .
How can i add this Ω symbol for Ohm in the string?

Also, how to add subscripts and superscripts to it?
e.g Ω^-1 for 1/Ω

Regards,
Haris

Hi Haris,

You can't. Virtuoso has primarily 7-bit ASCII support, with some limited 8-bit ASCII support. For characters with an ASCII code above decimal 127 (177 in Octal) as on this page, you can use (for example);

printf("Fraction \276\n")

will output:

Fraction ¾

However, characters like the Greek Omega symbol is not possible - that would require Unicode support, which is not available throughout Virtuoso.

Regards,

Andrew.
