Clueless Newbie question about Unicode

[Nyrath]

I've examined the tutorials and did a search on this group to no avail,
my appoligies if this has has been covered.

I'm making a TiddlyWiki with some mathematical equations, and it would
be real nice if I could include some Greek letters.

In my non-TiddlyWiki website, I used Unicode. For example to include
the Greek letter Delta, I'd add & # 9 1 6 ;
Alas, when I try that in a Tiddler, it just appears as the string of
numbers.
The same thing happens if I try \ u 0 3 9 4

Is unicode currently supported by TiddlyWiki 1.2.28?

The problem is that Δ is HTML code...and TiddlyWiki doesn't allow
real HTML code in tiddlers. The good news is that I have had luck
pasting in the actual character from another web page into the tiddler.
In other words, visit a website that lists the characters, highlight
the character you want, then copy and paste it directly into a tiddler
you're editing. It works for me for bullets and other characters, so I
don't see why Greek symbols shouldn't work as well.

Thanks! That worked splendidly. It handled Greek letters and a square
root sign.
