Print unicode symbols on display

[riodevelop]

Hello!

I got small question - can I print unicode symbols on display?

Everything I tried just return me error "AssertionError: Image height must be > 0"

For example:
lcd_comm.DisplayText("\u2600", 5, 180)

And thank you for great app!

Hello @riodevelop
It should be possible to display unicode symbols, but you need a font that supports it.
By default the DisplayText method uses the font ./res/fonts/roboto-mono/RobotoMono-Regular.ttf that does not have the ☀ unicode character.
You can add your own font inside res/fonts folder and use it with the DisplayText method:

lcd_comm.DisplayText("\u2600", 5, 180, font='./res/fonts/my-font.ttf')

Oh, I thought about that, but fonts.google.com shown that font support it.

Thank you!

Update: Noto Emoji font works perfeclty
