Android/Java: Incorporating a specific Unicode character in app

I'm putting together an android app which contains the following symbols:

"ɛ" and "ɔ"

and would like them to display correctly in my app. I'm not sure if android supports these symbols and several search hasn't proved useful either.

If they are supported where can I find them or if you could help me with their respective codes.

The app is text-heavy and spans across several activities so I'm pretty sure using images is not the optimal solution here.

Thanks in advance

I look at quite a bit of language text from Cote d'Ivoire, which uses ɛ and ɔ extensively. They show up in most apps using standard Android fonts, but not their equivalent uppercase versions Ɛ (\u0190) and Ɔ (\u0186). It is an open issue in the Android issue tracker https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=53217

"ɛ" => "\u025B"

"ɔ" => "\u0254"

More information:

Unicode Character 'LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN E'

Unicode Character 'LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O'
