Icon showing asian character rather than correct character

Before filling out an issue, be sure to check the version of react-native-elements you are using and the docs for that version over here.

Explain what you did I created an icon element and used it in my component.

Expected behaviour Icon should show correctly

Describe the bug Ok, so I’m only seeing this in production, but when I create an Icon like so:

        <Icon
          name='x'
          type='feather'
          size={30}
          color='black'
          containerStyle={{ alignSelf: 'flex-start' }}
        />

a few users have been reporting that they’re seeing the icon character below. This should just be a simple ‘x’. I’m not seeing on my phone, and so far I’ve only heard about it from Android users.

To Reproduce I have no way to reproduce this… Not sure how to see what’s happening in production.

Possible Solution Can you suggest a possible fix that would address this issue?

I had this error with all icons after starting a new project with React-Native 0.61.1 and react-native-elements 1.2.5.

I discovered that to finish the installation of react-native-vector-icons for android you need to link it manually (react-native-vector-icons doc).

Modifying the file android/app/build.gradle and adding the following line at the end solved the problem for me :

apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"

We are expecting this issue while using Expo. Unfortunately we cannot manually link while using Expo. We did update certain dependencies recently and are now using:

• “expo-asset”: “^7.0.0”,
• “expo-cli”: “^2.20.0”,
• “expo-cli”: “3.4.1”,
• “expo-constants”: “~5.0.1”,
• “expo-constants”: “~7.0.0”,
• “expo-font”: “~5.0.1”,
• “expo-font”: “~7.0.0”,
• “expo-localization”: “~7.0.0”,
• “react”: “16.8.3”,
• “react-dom”: “16.8.3”,
• “react-native”: “https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-35.0.0.tar.gz”,
• …

Any updates on this? It is currently stopping us from updating our production app.
