Draw heart symbol with drawString

Question

I've tried ♡, ♥ and \u2661 as text but I'm unable to draw the heart symbol.

g2d.setColor(Color.RED);
g2d.setFont(new Font(Font.MONOSPACED, Font.PLAIN, 70));
g2d.drawString(text, 10, 10);

Answer 1

You can try to use \u2665 instead of \u2661. Simply do:

g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.drawString("\u2665", 10, 10);

\u2665 is the unicode for heart shape. For reference:

♥ \u2665
♦ \u2666
♣ \u2663
♠ \u2660
