I need to display the upwards arrow character in a specific position in a view.
The unicode equivalence is U+2B06 and in UTF-8 it is E2 AC 86.
I can successfully display it in Xcode on the console using NSLog(@"This is an up arrow character \u2B06");
I have not found a way to use CGContextShowTextAtPoint to easily display such a character and the examples I have found using CGContextShowGlyphsAtPoint() seem to require me to use a font containing the upwards arrow glyph. Is there a generic all inclusive unicode font? What is the right approach to this issue? Suggestions are appreciated.
