Hello, I’m trying to write small epsilon in Julia 1.4.1 (\ epsilon) but instead epsilon character I see small box (box character or something like that- small, empty rectangle). Anyone had similar problem?

That means the font used by your editor/terminal/whatever doesn’t have that Unicode character. You could try installing and/or using a different font or a different terminal or editor.
