The following article shows how to show unicode characters using just the resource file. For example to show a character "↑" the following steps are required

• Create a file arrow.loc, using notepad

CHARACTER_SET UTF8
#define qtn_arrow "↑"

• Get the symbol you want from the 'character map' application on windows.

Save the file in the UTF-8 format. i.e. in notepad do "Save As" and in format choose UTF-8.

• Include in rss

#include "arrow.loc"

RESOURCE TBUF r_arrow
{
buf = qtn_arrow;
}

• Cpp code to show the character

TBuf<20> myarrow;
iEikonEnv->ReadResource(myarrow,R_ARROW);
