How do I use Greek letters in fprintf ? Since fprintf uses \ in its argument, I cant write Greek letters in it. Thanks

fprintf(' \lambda %g\t',10)
Warning: Escape sequence 'l' is not valid.See 'help sprint' for valid escape sequences.

Try escaping the escape character:
fprintf('\\lambda %g\t',10)
I know this works to get Greek characters in sprintf.

Just curious, why does this work?
>> fprintf('(RLS) \x03bb: [%4.6E, %4.6E, %4.6E]\n',lambda);
(RLS) λ: [9.999000E-01, 9.999800E-01, 9.999000E-01]
But this does not?
>> disp(sprintf('(RLS) \\lambda: [%4.6E, %4.6E, %4.6E]\n',lambda))
(RLS) \lambda: [9.999000E-01, 9.999800E-01, 9.999000E-01]
Nor does this:
>> disp(sprintf('(RLS) \lambda: [%4.6E, %4.6E, %4.6E]\n',lambda))
Warning: Escaped character '\l' is not valid. See 'doc sprintf' for supported special
characters.

The character vector \lambda is coding for TeX or LaTeX, and is completely unknown to sprintf() or fprintf() or compose() or to the MATLAB command window generally.
\x03bb is using the documented fprintf() / sprintf() facility to encode character positions in the current font (which is not necessarily Unicode)
You might also have seen something like
syms lambda
'(RLS)', disp(lambda), '[9.999000E-01, 9.999800E-01, 9.999000E-01]'
This only works with the Symbolic Toolbox when it is being displayed in LiveScript mode or being displayed in MATLAB Online or MATLAB Answers. And it is difficult to insert into the middle of a string.

I can get plenty of Greek symbols in the command window doing this:
>> str = sprintf('%c ', 900:1000)
Just pick the right number.

I'd call the Mathworks on that, because for me in R2020a, I do see lots of Greek symbols:

Leverage the Unicode representation of the Greek Letter.
'lambda' in Unicode is the Hex number: '039B' (You can find Unicode lists online).
Convert from the Hex Unicode character string -> to decimal -> to char -> concatenate with other character strings.
Lambda = char(hex2dec('039B'));
Omega = char(937);
disp(['disp Function: ' Lambda ' | ' Omega]);
fprintf(['fprintf Function: ' Lambda ' | ' Omega '\n']);
This code gives:
disp Function: Λ | Ω
fprintf Function: Λ | Ω
There may be more elegant ways of doing this, but it works for me!

This is the same basic approach as I suggested above where I suggested
fprintf('\x03bb %g\t', 10)
The \x03bb codes for U+03BB which is λ (lower-case Lambda).
The difficulty with this turned out to be that the person asking the question was using an older version of Windows that did not have the right font or code page activated. It took Microsoft a long time to catch up on Unicode (if they even have caught up yet.)
