retrieve custom char with charcode android -

i'm using custom font characters star, sun, etc.

i know charcode font.

i set textview font following code:

public class mytextview extends textview {  public mytextview(context context, attributeset attrs, int defstyle) {     super(context, attrs, defstyle);     init(); }  public mytextview(context context, attributeset attrs) {     super(context, attrs);     init(); }  public mytextview(context context) {     super(context);     init(); }  public void init() {     typeface tf = typeface.createfromasset(getcontext().getassets(), "font/myfont.ttf");     settypeface(tf ,1);  }} 

is there way, since know charcode, use specific characters directly in strings.xml , programmatically?

you can reference characters 4 digit hexadecimal code in java :

string somestring = "\u2776" 

or in resources :

<string name="some_string_name">\u2776</string> 

(2776 code ❶ in default font)
