How do I find the symbol for Pearson's Chi-square?

[Meggievan]

I need to type the symbol for Pearson's Chi-square one time into a paper I am
writing. I could not find it in the available symbols for Word. Please help.

The chi is a lower case Greek letter that is available in almost every "normal"
(non-specialty) font at Unicode value 03C7. In recent versions of Word you can
type 03C7 in the document and then press Alt+X to replace the number with the
character. In all versions, you can use the Insert > Symbol dialog
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm).

The "squared" part is a superscript number 2. You make it by typing the number
2, selecting it, and pressing Ctrl+Shift+= to make it superscript.
Alternatively, you can insert the ² character by typing the number 00B2 and
pressing Alt+X (or, since this symbol is in the original ASCII range, hold down
the Alt key while typing 0178 on the number pad).

I have got THE PERFECT ANSWER,

need is the mother of innovation!

so, in the font menu, you will find a weird font in the font menu of Microsoft word, AFTER GEORGIA AND BEFORE GILL SANS MT. Actually i could not read the name of this weird font, because it is weird!

if you choose this font and type K, it will look EXACTLY like the symbol of Chi-square. But if you copy-paste here, it will look just like normal K “the font is not recognized in this blog”.

I just did it for my master thesis!

Good luck!
