Is it reliable/safe to use Unicode symbols?

For an iOS app. I am using some unicode symbols in the Display Text behavior as icons for buttons. Is this reliable practice? Can I count on the iOS devices to also display the correct symbol?

    i recommend you to replace the unicode symbols by a little icon that show the same things.In this way, you will be sure the icon will show on any devices.

    I tested this last year sometime, it seemed to work just fine, the Unicode showed up exactly as expected when on my iPad.

    Here's the thread from last year with some good input from people, including information from @JSproject on compatibility.
