iOS UILabel not supporting all UTF-8 languages

I am using UTF-8 encoding for parsing data from JSON, it is working for quite number of languages, but some languages are displaying good in console, but when i try to display them in UILabel they end up showing question marks or garbage characters.

e.g

Amharic አማርኛ

Burmese မြန်မာစာ

You have to use special font that provides these characters. "Abyssinica SIL" (http://software.sil.org/abyssinica/download/) worked in my case for Amharic. For Burmese characters you can use "Zawgyi-One" (http://www.rfa.org/burmese/help/font_download_english.html ).
