I am trying to represent the Amharic letter "ሀ" as this let letter = "\u{1200}" but when I run the app it gives me a question mark. any one who knows how to represent unicode characters not supported by IOS in swift?

    It `print`s fine in Playground. How are you presenting it to the screen? In a label? as the output of `drawString`? Do you know what font is being used? – Grimxn Jan 26 '16 at 13:21

If the rendering of the character is the problem, make sure you use a font that is capable of that character.

If this is no duplicate, it's about the font, not swift or representation in code.
