Symbols in matlab output
Show older comments
I want to have the +/- symbol as well as cm ^3 symbol in my code output. I don't know how to code the symbols with fprintf rather than code just the typed out version. My current code reads "fprintf('Body mass changes by = %.5f +/- %.5f cm^3'" which in turn only gives these typed out in the output

How can we be sure that you won’t edit the question after getting an answer like you did in your previous question?

fprintf('Body mass changes by = %.5f ± %.5f cm³\n', value1, value2);
The symbols you can output are those in the "primary plane" of Unicode -- those with unicode position up to U+FFFF . There are a lot of things that does not allow you to output -- for example you would have trouble outputing Γ compared to Γ .
