I want to set a unicode character in a class file like this:
TextView tv = ...;
tv.setText("·");
is there anything potentially wrong with using a unicode character in a .java file?
Thanks
No. Java strings support Unicode so you shouldn’t run into any problems. You might have to check that the
TextViewclass handles all the Unicode characters (which it should), but Java itself will handle the unicode characters.You should also ensure that the file is saved with the correct encoding settings. Essentially this means that your editor should save the java file as UTF-8 encoded Unicode. See the comments to this answer for more details on this.
