Failed to show `` (UTF-16 character) in wxWidgets (C++)

I am using wxWidgets with Visual Studio 2022 (C++) to develop Windows application. I wish to display in the window, but as I tried using various fonts with the following code:

std::string fonts_name[8] = {"Calibri Light", "Calibri", "Cambria Math", "Cambria", "Candara Light", "Candara", "Consolas", "DFKai-SB"};
// ...
stat_txt_test = new wxStaticText*[8];
for (long long i = 0; i != 8; ++i) {
    stat_txt_test[i] = new wxStaticText(this, (long long)1000 + i, "", wxPoint(i * 15, i * 15), wxSize(10, 10), wxTE_READONLY);
    stat_txt_test[i]->SetFont(fonts[i]);
}

I only got screenshot.

However, if I use "a" (ascii character) instead, the result is enter image description here, which is as expected.

Now I am guessing that UTF-16 does not work well in my code. However, Chinese characters worked very well. This is the unicode of .

How should I modify my code in order to get this job done?

My attempts

"\x1D465" does not work and I got the following message and failure to build:

error C2022: '119909': too big for character "\xD835\xDC65" does not work (just a wild guess to use two characters to represent this character).

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

As shown in the wxWidget's documentation, the correct way would be as shown below:

//---------------------------------------vvvvvvvvv---->changed to u instead of x
label = new wxStaticText(this, wxID_ANY, L"\u0078");

or

label = new wxStaticText(this, wxID_ANY, L"\U0001D465");
