Hi pcs,

you could use the Symbol font for those labels...

I didn't read any of the posts, but your VI doesn't do anything...

In particular, character 0xD3 of the Symbol font gives you the squareroot symbol. It would look as follows.

Hi,

Thank you all.. I could insert the sqrt symbol in the GUI. 

I also want to initialise one of the strings with the same symbol. So I copied the sqrt symbol and inserted that in place of "sqrt(3)"  . but it switched back to a special character. I selected that special character and selected symbol font from the font menu, then it switched back to sqrt symbol. but as soon as i clicked the mouse outside, it reverted to the old special character(may be the one corresponding to 0xD3 in Application Font). 

How to fix this?

Hi pcs,

use Symbol font for the whole string, not just for one character...

Hi,

But in the symbol font there are no alphabets. So I cant possibly write "Um" . Attaching a vi by Lynn to print out all symbols in the symbol font. enter 'symbol ' in the font text box and run the vi.

Hi pcs,

you can display label and caption next to each other. Use label for Application font and caption for Symbol font:

guess sqrt is 0xD6. (214d).
