How to input 'per mil (%o) character?

[Liqing]

I'm trying to use 'text' function to add the sign of '%o'
(per thousand, or per mil) to the figure. I searched the the
help but did not find it.

Anyone happens to know that?

Thank you.

Search through the following (there are several responses, so
keep reading.) As you are using the mathworks newsreader, you
will likely have to splice the following URL together as that
reader will likely cut it into two lines:

Hi Walter,

Thank you very much. From the link you provided, I found the
answer as below:

With regard to the per mille symbol for MatLab under
Windows, an easy solution is to paste the per mille
character from the appropriate font family in the Character
Map directly into the string text in the figure window. It&#8217;s
low tech, but it gets the job done for users who need to add
this one symbol quickly.

LQ,

Is ?per thousand? the same thing as ?per mille??

Then, this will do:

xlabel(['5 ',char(8240)])

For me, char(8240) does not work in a graph, neither latex symbols \permil or \textperthousand (they require respectively packages wasysym and textcomp, i gues it's not possible to load a latex package into Matlab).

But the following solution is not too bad: text('5{^{\fontsize{7}o}}/{\fontsize{7}oo}')
It works with the default 'tex' interpreter.
