display ‰ symbol in xlabel with latex interpreter

Hi,

I need to display a permil (\textperthousand) in my xlabel but I cannot get it to work.

I'm using the following

ylabel('$\mathrm{^{34/32}\varepsilon^{mic}_{sulfate-pyrite} \ \ (\textperthousand)}$','FontSize',16,'Interpreter','latex')

I think it’s hanging up on the ‘\textperthousand’ call. When I searched online, that and ‘permille’ are not generally supported (and I can’t find it in my LaTeX reference).

You have to use a work-around —

% ylabel('$\mathrm{^{34/32}\varepsilon^{mic}_{sulfate-pyrite} \ \ (\textperthousand)}$','FontSize',16,'Interpreter','latex')
ylabel('${^{34/32}\varepsilon^{mic}_{sulfate-pyrite} \ \ (^{0}/_{00})}$','FontSize',16,'Interpreter','latex')

The workaround was suggested here. Not the ideal solution, nevertheless it works.
