Is there any way to display unicode characters?

Question

In C#, there are Unicode escape characters but when I pass them to a button, for example, the result is blank. How is this done?

I figured it out! Note the single quotes are required...

             char upArrow = '\u25B2';
             GUILayout.Button(upArrow.ToString());

It seems to render the Unicode character slightly off to the right though.

Here is a nice listing of available characters: http://www.unicode.org/charts/

If you want to use the inspector to set unicode characters (for example if you wanted to use font-awesome and actually see the icons when the game isn't running), you follow these steps:

Go to this website and search for the character code you want.
Copy and paste the character from the webpage into the unity inspector.

I think characters above '\uFFFF' are not supported by c#. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa664669(v=vs.71).aspx

These can also be used in the console, but as @luislodosm points out characters above \uFFFF are not supported:

 Debug.Log ( "\u2665".ToString () + " Text after symbol");
