@biagas and/or @JustinPrivitera if you can take a brief look and lemme know what you think so far, that would be great. I am deciding what to do about 3D axes because they have a lot of custom coding.
Sorry, I misclicked and merged develop into this branch. Hope that's ok.
Ok, I finally have a viable path for unicode in the axes titles...

Hi @markcmiller86 ! What's the status of this feature? Some of our folks are quite interested in it. Thanks!
@marcdurant apologies that I have let this languish. I worked through a lot of issues but only for 2D annotations. When I went to tackle 3D annotations, I ran into a number of snags that I was working through. The relevant VTK 9.5 objects were not working with VisIt's rendering modality and never actually appearing in a VisIt window. Though, the very same objects in a stand-alone VTK app worked fine. In addition, I've only recently re-activated the mac development platform that I was originally doing this work on and my attentions have been on getting a solid, new release of Silo out. I expect to be able to return to this in another month, maybe a tad sooner.
@markcmiller86 Thanks for the update. Our specific use case is using Expressions to create new Curve variables, and we'd like to be able to label the plot in a way that more cleanly expresses the underlying Expression.
