I'm having trouble displaying Tshivenḓa special diacritic characters in Android's WebView for API 16. API 24 works fine. I've tried numerous things: fonts, unicode escape sequences in HTML etc. etc.

See characters here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venda_language#Writing_system

I also tried the following solutions to thee same problem:

Android. WebView and loadData;

UTF-8 not encoding html in webview android;

Android WebView UTF-8 not showing;

Android WebView with garbled UTF-8 characters..

All these answers work except for these Tshivenḓa characters (ḓ ṱ ḽ ṋ ṅ ).

I have tried all means of escaping the character and many different encodings. (http://www.unicodemap.org/details/0x1E12/index.html)

Nothing is working for it. I absolutely can not proceed with my app if I can't get this to work. Does anybody know how I can fix this?

I have encountered this problem before. Unfortunately Android's default font doesn't support many of these special characters so the only solution I've found is to use a custom font that supports all the characters you need.
