How do I display Greek characters in Android?
Android has full Unicode support and displaying Greek characters should be very easy. In your strings.xml file you can use Greek characters and these will be displayed correctly. Of course you need to save your file in UTF-8 format.

I am currently working on an application that fetches questions stored in the database of the server. However these questions are in the Bengali language. For debugging purposes I am logging the response from the server with Log.d(). As I see the Logcat is not able to display these characters in Bengali fonts and it displays strings like \u0986\u09ac\u09b9\u09be\u0993\u09af\u09bc\u09be. Is there a way in which I can load a font to the Logcat so that it can display Bengali fonts?
Try to add Bengali font into your system and then go to Settings/Editor/Colors&Fonts/Console Font and choose your Bengali font.
I'm trying to display unicode characters (more specifically emojis) in my android application. Many of the unicode characters from http://apps.timwhitlock.info/emoji/tables/unicode seem to be unsupported by the default android font system.
For example:
myTextView.setText("\u1F602 \u1F603 \u263A");
will only correctly display the last unicode character (\u263A) according to the link above. Like I said, I'm guessing this a result of unsupported unicode characters by the default font. How do I go about supporting those unicode characters with the default android representation? Do I need to choose a new font, and if so, how do I determine if that font supports what I need?
Thanks!
I just got my app strings translated to italian but having issues in displaying them on android device.
For example, one of the word is "velocità", on the device the last character à is shown as junk character.
Any pointers on how can I resolve it. The above word is present in the raw-it folder in a .txt file.
I assume you have the txt file not encoded as utf-8. Right click on the file in Eclipse and then properties. Set it to UTF-8. (You might need to copy the text into it again to make the characters appear ok).
UTF8 encoding supports foreign language characters. Try using UTF8 encoding. if that doesnt work then the problemmight be because of the font used.Good Luck.
I am trying to display text in Indian regional languages on an Android app.
I've set up all the localization folders even though, I just want to have only one language for my app (say Punjabi).
In my strings.xml I have tried putting Hindi characters and Chinese characters and these are displayed correctly on the emulator. But when I put in Punjabi characters nothing shows up on the emulator.
Any reason for this? Can I overcome this problem?
I have the option of using a .ttf file in the assets folder for punjabi font. But that is not what I want to do because it does not give me complete control over the contents being displayed. Each .ttf behaves differently.
Any help is truly appreciated.
There is no support for local Indian languages on Android as yet. Hence the UTF-8 characters that fall outside the acceptable range for Android are ignored. Hence we see a blank being displayed.
I am working on an French Android App, where the Accents like é, ê, â, etc.... are displaying like Symbols, which is fetched for an XML Link. How do I fix this to display the Characters in French assents?
