Using Unicode characters in C# controls

Question

I want to add the Greek letter omega (U+03A9) to a label I've placed on the form. I've already switched the encoding of the form, but how do I set the content of the label such that an omega appears and not UTF char code. So taking this XAML ``` U+03A9 ``` I want the U+03A9 to be converted to an omega in the code behind I believe I can do something like ``` targetEncoding = Encoding.getEncoding(utfEncoding); lblOmega.Content = targetEncoding.getBytes("\u03A9"); ``` But I'm wondering if I can do this strickly in the XAML

Accepted Answer

Simply add the literal symbol Ω as the control's text. No futher modification necessary.

```
lblOmega.Text = "Ω";
```
