When I print a text that contain emoticons using standard output, the emoticons are shown (pic 1). But when I display the text in JTextArea, the emoticons appear as unidentified chars (pic2). How to solve this?
I'm on OS X & I used the same font for JTextArea as with other editors.
EDIT: I DON'T want to put predefined image emoticons. Rather I want to display the emoticons that are native with fonts. So if I write in any text editor :), I will get an emoticon because the font already has this. I want this to work in JTextArea.
