Excel headers with symbols

Hello

I want to create headers for the excel sheet with symbols

% Create headers for the excel file using the following lines
Tag='Cr';
List =24050;
C={[Tag,'_',num2str(List),' (ppm)'], 'k\infty', '\sigma(k\infty)', '\beta', '\sigma(\beta)'};

And I got

Cr (ppm) k\infty \sigma(k\infty) \beta \sigma(\beta)

I tried several parantheses styles, combinations and could not resolve. Help is appreciated.

Thank you

You have to either code the symbols as character constants or else code the unicode to create the symbols.

C = [Tag + "_" + List, "k∞", "σ(k∞)", "β", "σ(β)"];

or

C = [Tag + "_" + List, "k"+char(0x221e), char(0x3c3)+"("+char(0x221e)+")", char(0x3b2), char(0x3c3)+"("+char(0x3b2)+")"]
