I am looking for an alt-code that I can use to insert rho (ρ) into python.

I have tried Alt + 961 which returns ┴ which does not work. I can however copy a rho symbol from Word and paste into python which does work, but would be better to be able to directly insert it into python.

The reason for not wanting to explore the unicode options for the greek symbol ρ is because I like having my variables as greek letters when coding. I am fully aware that there are formatting options with the print() command to give the ρ symbol, however I would like ρ to be the subject of my equation. Or am I wrong and it can be done with unicode?

Any ideas?

  • You can use numpad to enter unicode by pressing `ALT` > `+` (on numeric keypad) > `03C1` for Windows. I cannot test because I do not have numpad :) `\u03C1 ρ GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO` – Razzle Shazl Mar 08 '21 at 09:57
  • I got that from the first google search result for: `how to print unicode rho` – Razzle Shazl Mar 08 '21 at 10:00
  • `I have tried Alt + 961` -- this way (without the `+` in my comment above) will give you an ASCII character (pre-unicode character set). – Razzle Shazl Mar 08 '21 at 10:03
  • Thank you. Didn't know unicodes could be used similarly as Alt codes from the keyboard like that. – Mat Mar 08 '21 at 12:18
