iOS - How to display emoji in UILabel from unicode character

Question

I need to display an emoji in a UILabel from Unicode decimal.

I have the following value 128513 (from Unicode table: http://apps.timwhitlock.info/unicode/inspect/hex/1F601)

Is it possible? I got it using a hexadecimal Unicode, but now I need to show emoji from decimal Unicode, because of an API that I'm using.

I know how to convert the Hex value to Emoji in a UILabel. Let me know if you have an alternative. — Imad Ali, May 21 '17 at 05:13

stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding is deprecated in iOS 9.0 – Imad Ali May 21 '17 at 05:19
Yes but it is one option, there are other way arounds for ios 9. – Arpit B Parekh May 21 '17 at 05:25
