Answer 1

You can do this with iOS 7's text attachments, which are part of TextKit. Some sample code:

NSTextAttachment *attachment = [[NSTextAttachment alloc] init];
attachment.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"MyIcon.png"];

NSAttributedString *attachmentString = [NSAttributedString attributedStringWithAttachment:attachment];

NSMutableAttributedString *myString= [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"My label text"];
[myString appendAttributedString:attachmentString];

myLabel.attributedText = myString;
