Hi all!

I'm trying to display a UTF-8 character in a jTextView control:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
TextView1.Text := #9786;I'm using a jTextView to display a counter,
and when the counter reaches 0 a smiley is directly displayed in place
of the numbers.

In any classical Windows or Linux application using TLabel it displays
a smiley, but in my Android app it doesn't work, only a '?' is
displayed. Any idea on who to do it?

It looks like your font is missing that glyph.

Thanks for your reply, you're certainly right. I didn't know it was
possible to use a particular font, until I found some code in one of
the demos.
So I could solve the problem using a web font stored in the Assets
directory:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
TextView1.SetFontFromAssets('materialdesignicons-
webfont.ttf');TextView1.Text := Self.ParseHtmlFontAwesome('F2E7');  
(* Smiley *)
