    Try setting Font to "Symbols" then make a Capital W.

    the professor wants us to use the same label for both numbers the letters K (kilo) M(mega) and G(giga) as well as the omega character

    Try calling up some of your people that are in your class and ask if they did it and can help you and if the didnt do it then have a talk with your professor about it.

    Let's get back to serious for a moment, shall we.
    Characters K and M are part of "Symbol" font family so that's not a problem. "Problem" is "G" character which "Symbol" doesn't have. You may try to substitute it with chr(86) but I don't know if that would work:
    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Command1_Click()
    2.     With Label1
    3.         .AutoSize = True
    4.         .FontName = "Symbol"
    5.         .FontSize = 16
    6.         'K = chr(75)
    7.         'M = chr(77)
    8.         'looks like G = chr(86)
    9.         'Omega = chr(87)
    10.         .Caption = Chr(75) & ", " & Chr(77) & ", " & Chr(86) & ", " & Chr(87)
    11.     End With
    12. End Sub

    what about using the hex code for the letter omega , using a standard font like arial, because omega is in the arial it just doent have a keystroke but it has a unicode hex or ascii hex number
