Put mathematical expression in gridExtra table column headers

I want to put the following expression:

2<= x<3, but if I put c(paste0(2 ," <= x <", 3), the result is the one in image 1, which I don't like.

enter image description here

On the other hand , if I put c(paste0(2 ," <= x", 3), the expression less or equal, is the correct one. Image 2

enter image description here

The code is this:

dataP2 <- data.frame(c("F(x)"),c("0") ,c(0.1), c(0.29), c(0.59),c(0.74), c(0.89), c(1))

colnames (dataP2) <- c( c("X"), c(paste0("x <", 2)),c(paste0(2 ," <= x", 3),c(4),c(5),c(6),c(7),  c(paste0("x >=",7))))

tt <- ttheme_default(colhead=list(fg_params = list(parse=TRUE)))

grid.table(dataP2, rows = NULL, theme=tt)

What do I have to put so that the expression is this way? Image 3

enter image description here

Image 4 enter image description here

"theme" works fine, but when I add "<", it already breaks down and displays <=. It seems that it does not support two mathematical symbols.

To add the formulas to the column names as you would like in Image 3, you can use regular quotes without the paste function. For example:

dataP2 <- data.frame(c("F(x)"), 0 , 0.21, 0.29, 0.59, 0.74, 0.89, 1)
colnames(dataP2) <- c('X', 'x<2', '2≤x<3', '4','5','6','7','x≥7')
gridExtra::grid.table(dataP2, rows = NULL)

Table with updated names

Then to access the columns since they contain non-standard characters you would need to wrap the names in backticks like:

dataP2$`2≤x<3`
