Is it possible to display UTF-8 characters in SWT?
I tried
Text text = new Text( shell, SWT.BORDER );
Font font = new Font( display, "UTF-8", 20, SWT.NORMAL );
text.setFont( font );
String s = "\u8118";
text.setText( s );
but it doesn't work.

Try:
for (FontData fontData : display.getFontList(null, false)) {
System.out.println(fontData.getName());
}
for (FontData fontData : display.getFontList(null, true)) {
System.out.println(fontData.getName());
}
this should give you the list of fonts alredy installed in your system.
then you'll have to try which one displays correctly like this:
Font font = new Font( display, fontData.getName(), 20, SWT.NORMAL );
