displaying symbols & spl char in applet

[Swathi Prakash]

i am trying to display special characters and symbols from fonts in character map. i am not getting the character displayed , a empty rectangle is displayed . help me to resolve it

How are you displaying the characters? And what OS the applet runs on?

I succesfully display (char)9650 and (char)9660 in a Swing applet as part of JTable column name.

i tried this sample program to get that


import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class fonttest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Font wingF = new Font("Symbol", Font.PLAIN, 36);
JFrame jf=new JFrame("testfont");
JLabel jl=new JLabel("\u006e");

jl.setFont(wingF);
jf.getContentPane().add(jl);
jf.show();
}
}

to display a arrow symbol
