iphone - Showing emoji in a UILabel?

Question

Not sure what I'm missing here, and searching hasn't helped me. I want to display emoji characters in a UILabel, and this isn't doing it:

UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] init];
label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"AppleColorEmoji" size:16.0];
label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%C", 0x1F431];
// ... etc.

Works fine with other non-letter unicode characters, e.g. chess pieces, but not with any emoji characters that I have tried.

Answer 1

To use Emoji's just press Control+command+space (??Space). No need of using unicode for emoji.
