Font Awesome & Unicode in React-Native

I want to use FontAwsome in react-native with UNICODE's. A part of my code:

    import Icon from 'react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome'; 

    <Icon name="&#xf015;" size={50} color="#5b5b5b" />

This is not working. If I write name="cogs" everything is OK.

I need to be shown with unicode.

I want to show icon with unicode. is there any library or any way to show icon with unicode I want to learn it.

Do you have any idea?

Solution :

<Text style={{fontFamily:'fontAwesome',fontSize:80,color:'#424242'}}>&#xf085;</Text>

Solution

  • you can render UNICODE's like this

    <Text style={{fontFamily:'fontAwesome'}}>
  &#xf015;
</Text>
