Hi all,
This seems like a lame question to be fair. I would like to be
able to access the snowflake symbol from the 'Zapf Dingbats' font
and simply draw it into a custom control applying attributes like
font colour to it.
Charecter details are:
Name: 'SNOWFLAKE'
Unicode: 2744
UTF8: E2 9D 84
What's the best way to achieve this in 10.4/10.5 and 10.6
simultaneously?
Try something like this: (written in Mail, untested, use at your own
risk)
unichar snowflake = 0x2744;
NSString *snowflakeStr = [NSString stringWithCharacters:&snowflake
length:1UL];
Those are the two lines I needed, thanks Nick. This has nothing to do
with Christmas either!
Stephen
