️Missing on Fenix 5 Series

The glyph for Heart️ Unicode 'Red Heart' (U+2764) is missing on the Fenix 5 series of watches but present on the Forerunner 645m and Vivoactive 3m.

On the Fenix 5, you see the diamond-? character instead of the expected heart.

In this particular case, the unicode character is being embedded into `strings.xml` and loaded and displayed using `Ui.loadResource`.

    Thanks for the response. Yeah, I'm seeing this on the physical devices.

    I was actually really pleasantly surprised to see this work at all on the Forerunner and Vivoactive devices, so I just assumed it would work on the Fenix 5. Sadly, not the case.

    In terms of the simulator, I'm not really sure either way: I've never gotten the simulator to work with Music apps in my dev setup (2013 MBP), so I've been doing all of my testing the *slow* way by side-loading each build. Total aside but I'm going to try using a Windows VM shortly, if nothing else, just to be able to take screenshots (currently I photoshop an actual photo over top of the device template).
