Smooth Font With Icons?

[KisonHe]

I want to use the material-design-icons. Take the 0xe90d for example, the processing ide seems can generate the icon correctly.

Then I tried printing it by doing following

char icon[] = {0xe9,0x0d,0x00};
tft.loadFont("a");
tft.println(icon);

Sadly nothing shows up on my screen.
I tried the smooth font showing some CJK characters and it works perfectly, I wonder if it is possible to use these icons?

OK, I figured it out.
I misunderstood Unicode with UTF-8. For any one might have same question, Unicode Bytes != UTF-8 Enocding
After changing char icon[] = {0xe9,0x0d,0x00}; to char icon[] = {0xEE, 0xA4, 0x8D, 0x00}; it works nicely.

There are a number of ways that a string or character can be represented. For example these work:

tft.println("€");
tft.println("\u20AC"); //  The Euro symbol is 0x20AC

and you can use drawGlyph with an unicode code point, as you only have one char to display.
