    You probably need to use the unicode values of those characters vs copying pasting them from somewhere…

    E.g:
    Get the unicode value of a character (using LibreOffice for example), and use that in your strings.xml with the ‘\u’ prefix:

    <string name="special_characters">\u03bb \u03ba \u03bc \u03be - special greek characters</string>

    See my screenshot (using Roboto-Black.ttf)
