Answer 1

Another option is String.fromCharCode(int charCode)

This is icons.dart created by flutter team and charCodes are can found here.

RichText(
  text: TextSpan(
  style: TextStyle(
    color: Colors.black,
    fontSize: 24.0,
  ),
  text: 'This is alarm icon : ',
    children: [
      TextSpan(
        text: String.fromCharCode(0xe190), //<-- charCode
        style: TextStyle(
        fontFamily: 'MaterialIcons', //<-- fontFamily
        fontSize: 24.0,
        color: Colors.red,
       ),
     )
   ],
  ),
)

And result :
