CIQ 4.0 and Currency Symbols

I am updating my app to work on 4.0. The app is simple and shows crypto prices in various currencies. In 3.x I was able to use the various symbols ($, €, £, etc) in my glance view using drawText() but now in 4.0 I just get a blank box where the symbol should be. Is this a bug in the simulator (I do not have a 4.0 device yet) or have they removed these symbols in 4.0?

What font are you using the the glance and which device?

FONT_GLANCE_NUMBER and Venu 2/2S.

Number fonts don't include everything, and GLANCE_NUMBER varies by device. Much more limited character set on a f6 vs a 945 for example

On some, I'm not sure even the $ is included. Use FONT_GLANCE instead.

Okay, after your first comment I suspected it was something like that. Kinda odd, has worked with all the devices I've tested in 3.x. Thank you!

It varies by device what's supported in number fonts. It even varies by which number font is used on the same device.

The character sets used to be published in the UX guide, but no longer. They were very useful.
