In any case, most likely the Droid font doesn't include a glyph for that code point.

[android-developers] Re: textview and unicode
That glyph isn't even in standard Windows fonts, so I'd say, no, the Android font won't have it. There is an app called Unicode Map, and it shows the square. So you are out of luck. If you want to display it, you will need to use your own font.

[android-developers] Re: textview and unicode
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.

[android-developers] Re: textview and unicode
While we are on the topic of missing glyphs -- are there plans for adding the new symbol for Indian Rupee, code point 20B9? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rupee_sign It's probably the only currency glyph still missing from Android and since my app deals with currencies, it's now displaying a square.

Actually, the glyph for code point 20b8 is missing also, which is a new currency symbol also, but I am not suppprting it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakhstani_tenge On Jun 21, 8:28 am, Zsolt Vasvari zvasv...@gmail.com wrote: While we are on the topic of missing glyphs -- are there plans for adding the new symbol for Indian Rupee, code point 20B9? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rupee_sign It's probably the only currency glyph still missing from Android and since my app deals with currencies, it's now displaying a square.
