Yes, ?plotmath does. But you will need to know what encoding this is
(and hence what Unicode points are meant by \246 and \302).
If this really were Greek, common encodings are UTF-8, CP1253 and ISO
8859-7; however \246 and \302 are not Greek glyphs in any of those. E.g.
> iconv("LC\246\302\n", "cp1253")
[1] "LC¦Β\n"
(which may not come out in your mail client).
BTW, "\246" is explained in ?Quotes.

Subject: Add encoded special characters (greek characters) as text to plot

Dear all,
I read my a character matrix from a text file. Some of them
have greek characters. To reserve the special characters, I
used stringsAsFactors=F using read.table. I notice that I
can’t print these character string using print(), but I
can use cat():
> print("LC\246\302")
[1] "LC\246\302"
> cat("LC\246\302\n")
LCβ
The problem is when I add text to my output plot like:
text(x,y, labels="LC\246\302")
I got "LC.. " on my plot. Obviously text function doesn’t
know what’s "\246\302". I google that encoding, and
can’t find exact what that is. It doesn’t look like
ascii or Unicode. Anybody knows what that is?
Note that I can’t use expression() method to pass these
special characters because these are read from a text file,
I just can’t include greek characters manually that way.
Is there a way that I can output these strings with special
characters automatically?
Thank you!
Heyi
