Not show symbol "₺" on Android 4.4. (KitKat)

 <TextView
 android:id="@+id/salesEarnedValueTextView"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:gravity="center"
 android:text="Test symbol ₺"
 android:textColor="#2c3939"
 android:textSize="23sp"
 android:textStyle="bold"
 app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/earnedDividerView"
 app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
 app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
 app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

As result on Android 5+ text success show "Test symbol ₺". OK.

But on Android 4.4. show only "Test symbol " . Not show symbol ₺

Yes better to find a font that supports that symbol and set the text to that custom typeface. Maybe this can help: How to use custom font in Android Studio

By default Android uses Roboto typeface and different Android versions may use different typeface versions with different symbols set. So to support some specific symbols (like '₺' or '₽') at all devices you have to include latest Roboto font and use it like this

TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.custom_font);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Roboto-Medium.ttf");
txt.setTypeface(font);
