How to type Greek letters with putdocx command?

[Krishanu Karmakar]

Dear Statalisters, I know that we can put Greek Letters in Stata Graphs (in titles etc.) using something like {\&Alpha}. But I am unable to figure out if we can also put Greek Letters (and may be other Mathematics symbols) within .docx files created using the -putdocx- command. Is it doable?

Have you tried Unicode? Here is a list of Unicode characters representing Greek letters.

putdocx begin
putdocx paragraph
putdocx text ("`=ustrunescape("\u03b1 \u03b2 \u03b3 \u03b4")'")
putdocx describe
putdocx save test.docx, replace

Res.:
