Before iOS 6, the go-to cross-platform string drawing would be CoreText. For
something like what you described, I'd suggest you look here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/StringsTextFonts/Conceptual/CoreText_Programming/Operations/Operations.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005533-CH4-SW18
under "Simple Text Labels".
Since iOS 6, NSAttributedString is probably your easiest cross-platform choice:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/NSAttributedString_UIKit_Additions/Reference/Reference.html
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSAttributedString_AppKitAdditions/Reference/Reference.html
and use something like 'drawAtPoint:...'

In either of the above cases, you're using NS/CFString, so you can represent
unicode easily. (You can even put the literal character in a string in your
source code, by copying it from the special characters panel.)
