  27         <para>
  28             <emphasis role="bold">%chars</emphasis> is a Scilab constant made
  29             of a structure gathering various sets of Unicode characters.
  30         </para>
  31         <para>
  32             %chars aims to easily access to greek letters, most frequent mathematical
  33             symbols, arrows, etc. After displaying %chars in the console or displaying this page in
  34             the help browser, copy/pasting selected characters wherever they are needed becomes
  35             trivial and very handy.
  36         </para>
  37         <para>
  38             In many simple situations -- when setting legends in graphics, writing some
  39             help pages or some other documentation, etc, using ready-to-read special characters
  40             instead of not-rendered raw LaTeX technical expressions is enough and helpful.
  41         </para>
  42         <important>
  43             Character sets provided by %chars must not be considered as fixed and definitive.
  44             The number of sets, their names, hierarchy, and order can vary in the future,
  45             as well as the order of characters in the sets. In addition, a given character
  46             may belong to several sets.
  47         </important>
  48         <note>
  49             The full display of all %chars contents in the console may require tuning the
  50             <emphasis>General:Environment/Containers display depth</emphasis> parameter
  51             in the Preferences.
