title: Special characters turn into squares
body: <p>We've got an issue with our app in Android and would appreciate any help.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What's the issue?</strong>
  Basically if special fonts are used, they will turn into squares on the app. Such as this font:   (taken from: <a href="https://lingojam.com/FancyTextGenerator" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://lingojam.com/FancyTextGenerator</a>).</p>
  
  <p>This doesn't just happen on the app, but anywhere on the phone, however we'd still like too add solution for it on the app to avoid the squares.</p>
  
  <p>This only affects <strong>Android 5.0, 6.0</strong> (probably lower and 7.0), 8+ is fine, so this obviously means that the special aren't supported in those versions.</p>
  
  <p><strong>How could this be solved?</strong>
  Now when using the Trello app, we noticed that when you make use of this font on there, it is just converted into normal font style. This would be an ideal solution, however we don't know how they did that.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas how that could be done?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>

  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>We use it in a textview, yes.</li>
  <li>Asci codes/emojis work, it's only those special fonts (for the mentioned android versions)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Isn't there a general method to detect special fonts and just convert them within  an Android app?</p>
