Can someone tell me how to add Greek letters to a string? In this case I
need to add the Greek letter mu to a string for display on the screen and
don't know how to do it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

..NET strings are sequences of Unicode characters so you can use Greek
letters the same way you use other letters. You might want to switch
however to save your VB source files as UTF-8, that way you can easily
write string literals with all Unicode characters e.g.
"Î¼"
