Here is a usage example: https://github.com/apache/flex-sdk/blob/8f3dd5bb05549b29f9d608e6abc914409a1a4ae2/frameworks/projects/flatspark/src/flatspark/skins/ComboBoxButtonSkin.mxml#L106 Here is the unicode definition: https://github.com/apache/flex-sdk/blob/8f3dd5bb05549b29f9d608e6abc914409a1a4ae2/frameworks/projects/flatspark/src/flatspark/utils/AwesomeUtils.as#L131
