Java Question Unicode characters b4a->java-library

[DonManfred]

Hello,

in one of my library i need to set a unicode character (it is a icon from a iconfont)
for ex

btn.setIconResource("\uf17b");

In this case it works. But the string is hardcoded into the library.
If i want to give this "string" from b4a to the java-lib

button.SetIcon("\uf17b")

then it is a normal string with the content \uf17b
and the icon is not set correctly.

What do i need to change to get this in java to work? Or i mean; what do i need to give as the value?

Edit:

I´ve tried to create a map with all Icons from the ttf font

  iconmap = new HashMap();
        iconmap.put("fa-android",  "\uf17b");
[..]
    if (iconmap.containsKey(iconres)==true){
       BA.Log("Iconres found in map => "+iconmap.get(iconres));
       String s = (String)iconmap.get(iconres);
       btn.setIconResource(s); // "\uf17b"
     }else{
       BA.Log("Iconres '"+iconres+"' NOT found in map");
     }

but this does not work either. What i am doing wrong?

What is the signature for setIconResource?

You can use Chr(0xf17b).
It is equivalent to "\uf17b"
