As Zsolt and Kostya already told you Android won't have a font that includes such special characters.
The one you seem to want to use looks like a printer thingy. If you are trying to use unicode characters as icons then you'd better start using Pngs for your icons. Including a font that would hold all of the fancy characters in unicode up to #5000 will add at least 1-2 Mb to the overall size of your app. A png saved for web in 48x48 is less than 10 Ko. And you can use it as the background of your text field.
