I did observe that I got failure to get that glyph to appear on a quartz or cairo_pdf device using either points() or text() but this command did produce an error message that was able to find the glyph in the console font: > points(1,.8,"\u21A6") Error in plot.xy(xy.coords(x, y), type = type, ...) : invalid plot type '‚' In addition: Warning message: In plot.xy(xy.coords(x, y), type = type, ...) : plot type '↦' will be truncated to first character -- David. > > > On 12/12/2014 03:38, Marius Hofert wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Is there a plotmath symbol like LaTeX's \mapsto? >> I need this comparably often, for example if you want to plot a >> two-place function in one variable (and thus would like to have >> ylab="t \mapsto f(t,s)", for example).
