Special characters in Android

Question

The EditText field contains Cyrillic values, such as ABG .. everything shows perfectly. When I try to set some Greek or any other letter like this one, for example 'ʎ' (lambda), 'ƃ' (not sure if this will happen) or 'ɟ' .. it shows the squares like "□ □ □ "

The codepage is UTF-8, otherwise it will not display the letters of the Cyrillic alphabet ... any ideas on this behavior?

Answer 1

The fact that you can display cyrillic characters is not a guarantee that you are using utf-8. It is also possible that you are using charset iso-8859-5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-5)
