[tex-live] Howto include unicode character?

[George N. White III]

If you want to work with unicode, you should investigate xe(la)tex:

% -*- coding: utf-8-unix -*-
% format using xelatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode,xltxtra}

%\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
%\setromanfont{Latin Modern Roman} % I don't get the pi
\setromanfont{STIXGeneral} % this works for me
%\setromanfont{Charis SIL} % this works for me

\begin{document}
What is π?
\end{document}
