Readers,

How to solve this unicode input error please?

> postscript("~/tmp/test.eps",width=100/25.4,height=100/25.4,horizontal=FALSE,onefile=TRUE,paper="special")
> testx<-seq(1:5)
> testy<-seq(1:5)
> plot(testy~testx)
> mtext('text (O₂)\n more text',side=3,line=1)

If the command to print to postscript is omitted, a graph is viewed
successfully, with the title text:

text(O₂)
more text

Thanks.
