Unicode in New GUI Text Object

Questions & Answers
1

I am using Unity 4.6. I am using the new GUI. I have a font that includes some icon type “letters”.

I would like to type some of these into the Text inspector in Unity. The font is set for Dynamic and that should allow unicode.

So the question is how do I enter the unicode into the text inspector? I tried putting \uf024, for example, and I just get \uf024 in what is displayed. I don’t get the special icon character.

You can copy and paste from somewhere else. On OS X, the standard alt/shift combos work, which covers the more common characters, but the character palette won’t copy characters to the text field, so again copy & paste from elsewhere (TextEdit etc.) works.
