Display unicode characters in TextView Android
<p>There are a number of posts all over the internet on this topic, however none of them have been able to isolate and solve the problem.</p>

<p>I am trying to show some special UTF-8 encoded symbols stored in a SQLite database using a TextView, however all it shows is boxes. I understand what this means is that right font is not installed. But when I print those symbols using Arial font on Mac it works.</p>

<p>I am trying to use an Arial typeface on the device and the emulator.</p>

<p>Any advise.</p>
