You should be able to do what you suggest in the question:

android:text="@{`\u0020\u2022\u0020` + item.title}"

But it is better to use string formatting:

<string name="bullet"> \u2022 %1$s</string>

and use it like this:

android:text="@{@string/bullet(item.title)}"

I'm pretty sure that \u0020 is just a normal space, so I just used a normal space in the string resource.

I want to answer my question

android:text="@{(@string/space).concat(@string/bullet).concat(@string/space).concat(item.title)}"


<string name="space">\u0020</string>
<string name="bullet">\u2022</string>
