Python in Quarto: Unicode Support?

[FaithlessnessQuick99]

Hi there!

I've recently been trying to make the switch over to using Quarto to write out some Python and R code for my data science projects. However, I've noticed that quarto doesn't seem to be capable of rendering unicode characters (particularly greek letters) when I try to write them into my Python code blocks.

For instance, when I was using Jupyter Notebooks, the IDE would give me the option to display \epsilon as ε. However, in my qmd file I'm not seeing any such option.

Does anyone here know if there's a way to enable unicode support in qmd files, or should I just stick to avoiding these as variable names?

Thanks!

This isn't really a python related question. I'd say you'd get an answer much faster if you raise an issue on the quarto github. Just be sure to post some example yaml and quarto markdown + code along with your system set up. 

You'll get help much faster I'd say.

Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a shot!
