On the assumption that you already have your canvas and the context set up, use the Hex code in the format 0x10E to place the Ď symbol on your canvas. For example:

In JavaScript, the syntax is \uXXXX. So, our example would be \u010E. (Note that the format is 4 hexadecimal characters.)

document.write("My symbol: " + str)
My symbol: Ď
