On Linux it shows the correct character, a flag; not so in android
new StyledText(elements : [Game.textStyles[5], '\u2691'])However, u2600 works in android
new StyledText(elements : [Game.textStyles[3], '\u2600'])This can be as simple as the default font not having that codepoint. In this case it would be good to have that pointed at develop time.
Note the text styles defined as:
textStyles.add(new TextStyle(color: const Color(0xFF555555), fontWeight: bold));
textStyles.add(new TextStyle(color: const Color(0xFF0094FF), fontWeight: bold));
textStyles.add(new TextStyle(color: const Color(0xFF13A023), fontWeight: bold));
textStyles.add(new TextStyle(color: const Color(0xFFDA1414), fontWeight: bold));
textStyles.add(new TextStyle(color: const Color(0xFF1E2347), fontWeight: bold));
textStyles.add(new TextStyle(color: const Color(0xFF7F0037), fontWeight: bold));
textStyles.add(new TextStyle(color: const Color(0xFFE93BE9), fontWeight: bold));

Chrome has the same behavior, showing 2600 but not 2691. Apparently stock android only has Roboto and Noto fonts. But an android app can embed ttf fonts, so this bug could mutate into providing font support outside these two fonts.

See #228 for general embedded font support.

What is our current behavior? Presumably we substitute a different font?

@jason-simmons does the switch to libtxt change the feasibility of this?
Remove stale ignore patterns from .gitignore. (flutter#112)

I'm going to close this. We definitely support using different fonts now, and I don't believe we plan to add support for replacing missing characters from a font (Chrome doesn't do it either).
