Title

Greek and other Unicode characters in Word Rich Text Format (RTF) documents

In Word RTF files, Greek letters and other Unicode characters can be included in the text as follows: a four digit decimal Unicode code preceded by "\u" and followed by "?".
Complete Unicode code tables are available at www.unicode.org/charts.
For use in Word RTF files, the hexadecimal codes in the tables must be converted to decimal numbers.

For example, for the Greek lowercase character alpha, the hexadecimal Unicode code is 03B1, which is equivalent to 945 decimal.
We can make this into a four digit number by putting a "0" on the front, so the appropriate RTF code would be "\u0945?".

For another example, the Euro currency symbol is hexadecimal Unicode 20AC which is 8364 decimal, so the inline RTF code would be "\u8364?".

The Unicode characters displayed in the Word file are only limited by which Unicode characters are diplayable in the font being used.
For fonts like Times New Roman and Arial, a very wide range of characters can be displayed.
