Hi,

I have some iconic fonts installed in my system and I've been trying
lately to use them in the statusbar with no success. Some of them use
the private unicode characters [1] so I would need to be able to use
unicode characters in my widgets, such as in the following example:

mywidget.text = "<span font='myfont'>\U023</span>"

The problem is that what I get in the widget is exactly "U023",
instead of the corresponding unicode characters. I have tried escaping
the backslash with another one but then what I get is "\U023"

Using naughty to display a notification with the same text does show
the unicode character, by the way, so I know for sure that the font is
correctly installed and working.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance,
