Using Material Design Icons as font

I looked at the fontawesome icons example and used that as my starting point and it worked great until I noticed that the icons I need have five characters. The code I use looks like this:

text = '\uF02D1'

should be the “mdi-battery-charging-high” icon but the output to the screen (SSD1306) is the “mdi-amazon” (‘\uF02D’). Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?

Ok, turns out \u is the 16-bit unicode hex representation, so only reads the following 4 characters. To get 32-bit unicode values, use \U (upper-case) instead … so the following should work as expected:

text = '\U000F02D1'

I learned something new today…!

So did I, I tried

text = '\u000F02D1'

earlier but it didn’t work and now I understand why. Thanks!
