title: How can I print unicode characters in LaTeX?
body: <p>I need to print a bunch of unicode characters using LaTeX, and cannot find a solution.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the simplest (not)working example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\documentclass[10pt]{article}
  \begin{document}
  
  Test: $\beta$ βᵝᵦꞵ
  
  \end{document}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Test: β              with XeLaTeX and LuaLaTex
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With PdfLaTex I get the standard error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Package inputenc error: Unicode character (...) not set up for use with LaTex</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am aware of the possibility to re-define all unicode characters to a single stndardized one, that of <code>\beta</code>. However, that is not the solution, as I need to print the characters exactly as displayed above or in any decent text editor.</p>
  
  <p>The file I use is encoded in UTF-8. I am using TexMaker, also set-up for UTF-8.</p>
