[R] display double dot over character in plotmath?

[Duncan Mackay]

Hi

I just had to do something similar in windows with \"{u}. Try Unicode symbol
- see ?plotmath 

ggplot(data, aes(x=X)) + geom_line(aes(y = Z), size=0.43) +
xlab(expression(atop(top,bold(Age~"\u00e4"))))

Regards

Duncan

I am sorry, I use a linux operating system. I use Fedora 25 but the student
I wanted to show this uses Ubuntu, though I don't know if the distribution
matters.

Thanks again for your help, and best wishes,
