Showing emoji in a UILabel?

Question

Not sure what I\'m missing here, and searching hasn\'t helped me. I want to display emoji characters in a UILabel, and this isn\'t doing it:

UILabel *label =         


        

Answer 1

You are probably not using the correct encoding for your emoji characters. For instance in your example I think you are looking for something like this:

label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%C", 0xe04f];

Have a look at this table to get the encodings you need.
