I would like to display a unicode character (the speaker symbol U+1F50A) in label. Is it possible to enter this symbol in Interface Builder?

Answer 1

It's fun why few people knew this. You can enter Unicode-symbols directly by holding "Option" and entering hex digit. All you need: (Sierra example) goto "Preference -> Keyboards -> Input Sources" and search for "Unicode Hex". It should appears under "Others" section. Next add it and then you be able enter Unicode-char anywhere just selecting this input source.

For example: ✓ = (Alt+2713), € - (20ac), etc. Most interesting section from 2100 to 2800. Full list you can found here - Unicode table

P.S.: This method sutable only for four-digit Unicodes
