Is it possible to display Klingon text (it doesn't have to be editable) on iOS?
If yes, what's the recommended way?

Klingon is not part of Unicode. – Jonathan Grynspan May 22 '12 at 14:17

5It's always *possible*, even if you have to resort to having an image for each character and drawing them yourself. – cHao May 22 '12 at 14:18

1Use the class UINerdFeatures. Other than that, cHao actually posted a valid answer. It's not even that much work, since some Font packages are available on the web. Look up how to add custom fonts to applications, there might be a guide for that somewhere. – thundersteele May 22 '12 at 14:28

Somebody has come up with a "standard" mapping of Klingon to the private usage area of Unicode. All you need to do is find a font for Klingon (or use bitmaps) and away you go. There will be some work needed to install your font onto the device.
