How can I copy a MATLAB figure to ms word while retaining figure labels?

I labelled the x-axis of the MATLAB figure as follows:

xlabel(['Ambient temperature, ',char([0xD835 0xDF0F]),''])

However, the unicode character (\tau) is missing in the copied figure. Please what should i do?

How are you copying your figure to MS Word? You could save it as a .PNG and then insert it to word

It worked @ Antoni Garcia-Herreros. Thanks a lot.

MS Word also has a Screen Clipping feature too.

copygraphics is a quick and easy way to copy a figure or axes to the clipboard so you can paste it into a document. For example, if you're copying the entire figure,

copygraphics(fig)

where fig is the figure handle. Then paste into word. I tested it with your xlabel and had no issues.

Also, here's a simplified alternative to your xlabel, though the tau character may be slightly different,

 xlabel('Ambient temperature, \tau')

Thank you for your response Adam. I prefer this variant of the tau character. I tried saving the figure as a .png or .jpg type and then paste in ms word which worked.
