Greek letters in Vensim

[navidg]

Hi, I am wondering if we can type Greek letters (like Alpha) in a Vensim file. In my CLD I need to have English words as well as Greek letters...

Yes, Vensim is unicode so should have no trouble with any characters.

Thank you for the response. So I did type the greek letter in word first (like "λ"), and then copied "λ" and pasted it in the name of my variable in Vensim... There should be an easier way, I guess, but this worked fine for me.

There should be an easier way

Are you using a keyboard with the characters you want to use? If not, the only way I can think of is to use the character map application (if running on Windows).
