[i.yalovecky]

I have unicode code of symbol, for example 2605, how i can display it in NSTextField, thanks.

Something like this will get you an NSString. You should be able to do the rest (if you can't read the documentation):

unichar ch = 0x2605; 
NSString*str = [NSString stringWithCharacters:&ch length:1];

Another option is:

[theTextField setStringValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Twinkle, twinkle, little %C", 0x2605]];

Or use \u - for example this

@"Print\u2026"

will give

@"Print…"

The reason I used the solution I did is that some of the above depend on the source code file being UTF-8 and will break if it is not.

Lot's of good discussion here.
