[uMap] How to use unicode characters as marker symbols

[Fahrrad Hohenheim]

Dear all,

upon editing a umap, in the description text for "Icon symbol" (edit  
marker, expand "Shape properties") it reads:

---

Symbol can be either a unicode caracter or an URL. You can use feature  
properties as variables: ex.: with  
"http://myserver.org/images/{name}.png", the {name} variable will be  
replaced by the "name" value of each marker.

---

I did not find a more detailed description as of how to use unicode  
characters. I tried it with some versions of U+267F (wheelchair  
symbol) but the marker always just displayed the character sequence  
that I entered, not a symbol or single unicode character.

For the wheelchair symbol, I found a solution by using the Wikipedia  
URL of a public domain picture file, but nevertheless, using unicode  
characters might be useful.

I am grateful for hints/guides/descriptions.

Cheers,

Volker
