Hmm, it would be hard to map an emoji char to fontawesome char. I just showed fontawesome as an example for usage. For your case, maybe the free OpenSansEmoji font from here can help: https://github.com/MorbZ/OpenSansEmoji Then try creating a simple {your unicode string here} and see if it

Thanks Clint for your suggestion but this approach doesn't work either. Tried using every way I know how to assign the content to the RichText control. It could still be my error on how I'm assigning content to the TLF document. There must be some way to make this work since on can supposedly
