Unicode in C#

[julio]

How do I display a Unicode character? I tried

TextBox1.Text = new string('\u266D',1);

and also

char c = '\u266D';
TextBox1.Text = c.ToString();

Neither works (it should display a "double flat", something like two 'b's,
one partially overlapping the other. I just get a rectangle.

Julio,

It seems like whatever font you are using doesn't support that
character. Try setting the font of the textbox to a font that you know
supports the character.

In C#, everything is working just fine. Just about any Unicode codepoint <
0xFFFF can be created the way you're doing it.

The problem (as Nicholas already pointed out) is that the font you're using
doesn't happen to suppor that character.

Typically, I end up installing a fairly large set of fonts on my dev
machine, so I can see everything. This (for me) often includes the Far
Eastern support stuff...
