Hi all,

This seems like a lame question to be fair. I would like to be able to access the snowflake symbol from the 'Zapf Dingbats' font and simply draw it into a custom control applying attributes like font colour to it.

Charecter details are:

Name: 'SNOWFLAKE'
Unicode: 2744
UTF8: E2 9D 84

What's the best way to achieve this in 10.4/10.5 and 10.6 simultaneously?

Try something like this: (written in Mail, untested, use at your own risk)

unichar snowflake = 0x2744;
NSString *snowflakeStr = [NSString stringWithCharacters:&snowflake length:1UL];

Those are the two lines I needed, thanks Nick. This has nothing to do with Christmas either!

Stephen
