Add tick mark (✔) to string.xml

Question

I am adding tick mark (✔) on a string message on the strings.xml, but I am getting a "box" instead of the tick mark when I am display that on the mobile device.

I have directly pasted the symbol on my string message.

Is there any way we can handle that? Do we need to use an unicode value?

Answer 1

Add unicode symbol "\u2713" to your string resource or you can use it from code as String object.

String checkedMark = "\u2713";
