How to use Segoe UI symbol in XAML

Question

Seems like an easy one, but I can't figure out how to do/use these symbols. I want to use a U+E135 symbol and I can't figure out how to do it. Can someone give me a TextBlock example and also explain how I go about getting the hex equivalent to use in XAML. Thanks.

From the MSDN forums:

<TextBlock Text="&#xE26E;" FontFamily="Segoe UI Symbol">

The trick is to replace U+1234 with ሴ. The latter is an XML character entity.

Your platform must support this font in order for this to work.
