Displaying unicode characters

I’ve designed a game that will make heavy use of Egyptian hieroglyphics (Unicode hex values 13000 to 1341F) and I’ve found a font that supports these values. I got the font working in the simulator, but I can’t get it to display any characters outside of the usual ascii set.

Is there any way to display unicode characters in Corona? [import]uid: 90817 topic_id: 20400 reply_id: 320400[/import]

This may help, please let me know - if not I can ask another member of the team for some insight; http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2010/08/08/string-greek-characters

i do not know if it works for hieroglyphics, but it does a fine job with math symbols
