How To Write Special Characters In Android

I want to add units to my TextView, such as power (^2, like small letter above the line of text), micro symbol (µ), etc. Someone know how to do this ? Thanks!

Solution 2:

yes you can use Unicode characters for your Textview

TextViewtvtext=newTextView(this);
tvText.setText("unicode characters \u00B5");

you can find Unicode for all characters

Solution 3:

You can use:

u00B5 - formicro - µ

u00B2 - forsquare (x²)
