I guess you are on windows. I do not know about the copy-paste
capability of the editor.

there is an escape sequence in povray...

global_settings { charset utf8 }

#local UnicodeString="\ueaa0\ueab0";

As long as the glyph code is less than 0xFFFF. The glyphs needing more
than 2 bytes are not available.

Infinity is 0x221E, so you're fine.

But that is only half of your problem: the font used (in a text{})
must also have the relevant character.
