string from string.xml shows different behaviour for different views

Question

Declared Resource String in string.xml file.

<string name="beta">&#946;</string>

When I try to set this text to TextView it Displays properly β,

but if when I set this in to Button then it Displays B.

Why its behavior is different for different Views ??

it shows because β is **B** in Java Data. refer: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/3b2/index.htm — Orvenito, Sep 15 '17 at 04:14

Because in Button textAllCaps property is true by default, do it false then it will show β in button also:

<Button
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAllCaps="false"
        android:text="@string/beta" />
