title: Displaying a unicode character from SQLite database
body: <p>I have a listView which is populated by data from an SQLite database. One of my fields is a marker with a unicode character of either a full circle: \u25cf or open circle: \u25cb. Both characters display properly when I use a hardcoded string in a text field. However, in my listView I am seeing the text encoding instead of the character.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know why this is... and how I get the unicode characters to display?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>Update:</p>
  
  <p>The insertion code is</p>
  
  <pre><code>private void loadRecords() throws IOException {
          final Resources resources = mContext.getResources();
          InputStream inputStream = resources.openRawResource(R.raw.records);
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
          try {
              String line;
              while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                  String[] strings = TextUtils.split(line, ",");
                  if (strings.length &lt;2) continue;
                  long id = addRecord(strings[0].trim(),strings[1].trim(),strings[2].trim(),strings[3].trim(),
                          strings[4].trim(),strings[5].trim(),strings[6].trim());
              }
          } finally {
              reader.close();
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with the resource being a csv file with one line being e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>primaryKey,name,surname,address,phone,email,\u25CB
  </code></pre>
