Scratch

I'm not sure what you mean... are you saying some unicode characters don't work in Scratch? Because I think they all do...

You probably can't. You could just copy and paste the character instead, or possibly create two lists which map each unicode number to its symbol.

try the character 'ϕ' or 'Φ' (what I am trying to make)
the question is how to input them onto the blocks by the unicode number

Both characters work for me in 1.4 and 2.0.

I mean in the source code
it does work fine on dialogs, scratch text boxes, scratch variables, etc.

Oh.
Alt-232 and Alt-237 insert uppercase and lowercase phis, respectively, on Windows. It renders for me as a box in the system browser; I believe this is because that font doesn't support the symbol. However, it may display properly in the actual Scratch skin (I don't know enough to test or find out, though).

three things:
1. I am using a mac
2. copy/pasting gives two separate characters for me
3. in scratch skin, they load correctly (for example, in the variable names)

You can create them from their character code using the Char class.

… from 1 to 255. However, Unicode character 981 cannot be created with the Character class.

Oh, ok. Then maybe (I haven't looked into this) you can use the UTF32 to some extent.

the problem is, I don't know how

Remap your keyboard layout to include phi temporarily?

1. how?
2. probably won't work (see point #2 above)
