Unicode not needed.

It is sufficient to use RTF to allow mixed fonts within a grid cell.
Then you can use an actual Greek Delta using Symbol font
and mix that with normal characters in another font

I'm not sure which other grid controls support RTF formatting
but our TList does. ( www.Bennet-Tec.Com )
