How to integrate and use Font Awesome with Objective-C or Swift in an Xcode project?

Question

So I am trying to use this font http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/. I've added the font as a resource and put it in the plist file. Here's how I am using it: ``` [homeFeedButton.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"fontawesome" size:8]]; NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%C", @"\f030"]; ``` However this doesn't work. Does anyone know how to use this font in an Xcode project?

Accepted Answer

It is because your `+[NSString stringWithFormat:]` method contains the literal for a unichar, not an NSString, which is an object that uses %@, which is beside the point because literal'ing a literal is redundant.
