Inserting Unicode characters To insert a Unicode character, type the character code, press ALT, and then press X. For example, to type a dollar symbol ($), type 0024, press ALT, and then press X. For more Unicode character codes, see Unicode character code charts by script.
Rebooting and making sure that some other program displays Unicode before chrome will fix it. Putting a file on the desktop with a Unicode character in the filename also fixes it because Windows Explorer automatically access the Unicode routines first, before Chrome has a chance to break it.
You can enter any Unicode character in an HTML file by taking its decimal numeric character reference and adding an ampersand and a hash at the front and a semi-colon at the end, for example — should display as an em dash (—). This is the method used in the Unicode test pages.
I want to display the "infinity" symbol using
CGContextSelectFont(context, "HelveticaNeue", textSize, kCGEncodingMacRoman);
CGContextShowTextAtPoint(context, myCenter.x, myCenter.y + textHeight, [sName cStringUsingEncoding:NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding], [sName length]);
It is displayed as a square box, or a circle. I have found out this symbol is in decimal 176 and 221E in Hexadecimal format. I am using Helvetica as my font, and have tried others with no luck. Is this a problem with the encoding I am using?
