Symbols in Label Text Property

I want to add a symbol (in this case the symbol for Pi) in the middle of the
text property of a label control. I cannot figure out how to do this ...
can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Why don't you use an image with a PI symbol

Start "charmap", enter "pi" into the "Search for" box and search for the
character. Then simply copy the character and paste it into the label's
'Text' property. Note that you'll have to use a font which contains a glyph
for the pi character.

I am glad it worked for you. However, be sure you are using a font which
you have the rights for distribution for when using it in an application
which gets distributed to clients.
