Unicode characters display in UILabel

Question

Display unicode characters in a UILabel as follows:

NSString *str = @"flag \u2691 and heart \u2764";
myUILabel.text = str;

The flag is displayed in black and white, while the heart is displayed in red with gradual change. So the question is: is it possible to control the color of unicode characters?

Take a look at OHAttributedLabel. It allows you to style your text label with more than 1 color. (Also lets you have different fonts in one label)

Yes, I know this class, but I wander if it could implemented with UILabel. Thx for your reply:) – lu yuan Jun 03 '12 at 07:52
It's not possible to use have more than one color with UILabel unfortunately – shabbirv Jun 03 '12 at 07:53
maybe it's possible with unicode characters, such as the heart displayed in red with gradual change. – lu yuan Jun 03 '12 at 07:54

Thanks for mentionning my OHAttributedLabel class ;) And no these colored characters are emoji glyphs so are a very special case (the color is included in Apple's glyph representation of this special emoji character) – AliSoftware Jun 03 '12 at 13:49
