Display "hat" accent on a character

[steppenwolf]

I'd like to add a hat symbol (^) over a character in a plot label string. This would be done in latex using \(\hat(x)\) for the character 'x', but I don't see any way to do this on the "TEXT" function page [https://www.nv5geospatialsoftware.com/docs/TEXT.html].

Thanks in advance!

x= TEXT( 0.5, 0.5, '!UÊ', /NORMAL, ALIGN=0.5,font_size=20)

Thanks. Can this approach be used with non-vowel characters? E.g., x or R?

I don’t know offhand. Have you tried it yourself?

Hope I'm not being obtuse, but I don't know how I can type "Ê" with the "E" replaced by "R". I can do that with "E" in the Vim editor by using the digraph "E>", but this doesn't work for "x" or "R".

Have you even tried !UR. ???

I don't knoe if that works, but you should try it at least... :-)

The usual thing to try is using Unicode, but only the following letters exist, and Helvetica only has the vowels: Ââ Ĉĉ Êê Ĝĝ Ĥĥ Îî Ĵĵ Ôô Ŝŝ Ûû Ŵŵ Ŷŷ. Here my failed attempts:

w=window()

t = TEXT(0.01, 0.05, "Ââ Ĉĉ Êê Ĝĝ Ĥĥ Îî Ĵĵ Ôô Ŝŝ Ûû Ŵŵ Ŷŷ  $\U(0302,0078)$   $\U(0302,0008,0078)$  $\U(0302)x$   $\hat{x}$   $x^\U(0302)$   ^")
