Supported Encodings and Non-ASCII Characters

PyGMT supports a number of encodings and each encoding contains a set of ASCII and non-ASCII characters. In PyGMT, you can use any of these ASCII and non-ASCII characters in arguments and text strings. When using non-ASCII characters in PyGMT, the easiest way is to copy and paste the character from the encoding tables below.

Note: The special character � (REPLACEMENT CHARACTER) is used to indicate that the character is undefined in the encoding.
