Does Roku Support Unicodes?

I have some text with Unicode from the end user's input in Roku.

ex: Hello World ● John Doe  

Now in Roku ● is not visible instead it shows a Cross(x) in Box.
please check the Screenshot for reference.

How do I provide support for Unicode in Roku?

  • I don’t know, and this is probably a question for the developer forum, but I’ll just throw out that just because a device supports Unicode, doesn’t necessarily mean that the font(s) in use have a full set of glyphs for all 120803 Unicode-defined characters. (Most fonts do not.)

    I know on Windows machines, there is a system where if a character isn’t defined in the current font, windows and/or the app seems to be pretty good at finding some other font on the machine that can render it, but I have no idea if anything similar happens on Roku OS.
