U+2603 is not currently in the android fonts. FYI - The default font is DroidSans.ttf (when you don't specify a typeface object). All of the UI fonts (there are 7 currently) in turn reference DroidSansFallback.ttf for characters that they don't contain.

The character ☎ (U+2603) appear differently in the character map and in the actual application. See the attached pictures. So, the question is, where is the default font used in the the phone applications?

The Droid Sans font, from Android framework, contains the unicode character ⏏ (U+23CF), as the attached screenshot proves, but when I use it as the text of a button (in the layout XML file with @android:text attribute) what I see is a rectangle as you can see in the attached image. Any ideias about this? What should I do? On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 3:14 AM, Rui Castro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, Thanks for the answer. The characters I want to use are there, but when I use them a rectangle appears where the character should be :( I'm using the strings.xml to put the buttons text, like this: <string name="arrow">↨</string> and in the layout XML file I reference this text like this <Button android:text="@string/arrow" ... /> I'm I doing something wrong? I suppose I'm not, because this method work very well with the other characters.
