Binding Symbols in a ListBox

Question

I want to use some items in Segoe MDL2 Assets as icons for a menu driven off a collection.

I have my collection defined

NavItems = n         


        

Answer 1

In C#, unicode character escapes sequences are prefixed by \u, so your code should look like this:

NavItems = new ObservableCollection
{
    new NavItem { Icon = "\uE1E2", ... },
    new NavItem { Icon = "\uE115", ... }
};
