I would open up OS X's character viewer and drag the character straight into Xcode. It turns out it actually works!

You can only use characters that are available in the font you're using. You'll either need to change font to one that has the character or change the character you're using.

Check this for adding custom fonts: Can I embed a custom font in an iPhone application?

Alternatively use NSAttributedString (Possibly with a library like DTCoreText depending on what versions of iOS you need to support) to specify the the text layout / formatting.
