welcome everyone as this is my first post here. I have recently started programming in Java and I have a little problem.

I am trying to use "Almost equals to" symbol (\u2248) in my program, but it shows only "?" However, some of the symbol, math category can be used, "+" for example.

Is there any library I should download of a file that needs to be included? Thanks for help.

    It could be an issue with character encoding or your font (or both). Do you know what encoding is used? Commented May 27, 2014 at 17:51
