[R] Special characters in cell names

[Eric Berger]

If no one comes up with a better suggestion:
a. Change the column name to "Y" so that you get the plot you want
b. Use axis labels and legend text to show the text that you want. (The
user never has to know that you changed the column name 😃)

HTH,
Eric
