Special characters in a TextView

Question

I want to show the \"♫\" character in an Android TextView, but it shows [] instead.

This is my code:

txtCatname.setText(\"♫\");
         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

String str = "♫";
byte spbyte[] = str.getBytes("UTF-8"); 
str = new String( spbyte,"UTF-8");
txtCatname.setText(str);

If it doesn't work, try this:

String str = "♫";
txtCatname.setText(Html.fromHtml(str));
