Using the following code to create a Unicode string: wchar_t HELLO[20]; wsprintf(HELLO, TEXT(%c), 0x2074);

Using the following code to create a Unicode string: 

wchar_t HELLO[20];
wsprintf(HELLO, TEXT("%c"), 0x2074);

When I display this onto a Win32 Control like a Text box or a button it gets mapped to a [] Square.
How do I fix this ?
I tried compiling with both Eclipse(MinGW) and Microsoft Visual C++ (2010).
Also, UNICODE is defined at the top

Edit:

I think it might be something to do with my system, because when I visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_superscripts
some of the unicode characters don’t appear.

    The font you are using does not contain a glyph for that character. You will likely need to install some new fonts to overcome this deficiency.

    The character you have picked out is ‘SAMARITAN MODIFIER LETTER EPENTHETIC YUT’ (U+081A). Perhaps you were after U+2074, i.e. ‘SUPERSCRIPT FOUR’ (U+2074). You need hex for that: 0x2074.

    Note you changed the question to read 0x2074 but the original version read 2074. Either way, if you see a box that indicates your font is missing that glyph.
