如何自定义UILabel以显示图像？

Question

I want to customize UILabel control.

For example,

lblName.text = @"Zotiger";

then label shows Zotiger normally.

And if i set its text with some special characters (in my case, * is a special character for replacing with image)

lblName.text = @"***";
lblPhone.text =  @"***-****-****";

then label shows three icons as below image.

How can i customize UILabel simply? Is there any open source control?

Answer 1

its simple, you can use certain Unicode characters in your string, and the iPhone will display them as Emoji

see this link for heart unicode

in your case for red heart : \
