There are two ways you can achieve this.

• Use Unicode characters in your text, if it serves your purpose, However unicode characters are limited set.
• Use emojis provided that it serve your purpose.

This is how you do it in the code

 override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]? {
    let delete = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Default, title: "u{267A}
 Delete") { action, index in
        print("more button tapped")
        self.tableView(tableView, commitEditingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle.Delete, forRowAtIndexPath: indexPath)
    }
    delete.backgroundColor = UIColor(rgba: "#ef3340")

    let apply = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Default, title: "u{2606}
 Like") { action, index in
        print("favorite button tapped")
        self.tableView(tableView, commitEditingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle.Insert, forRowAtIndexPath: indexPath)
    }
    apply.backgroundColor = UIColor.orangeColor()

    let take = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Normal, title: "u{2605}
 Rate") { action, index in
        print("share button tapped")
        self.tableView(tableView, commitEditingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle.None, forRowAtIndexPath: indexPath)
    }
    take.backgroundColor = UIColor(rgba: "#00ab84")

    return [take, apply, delete]
}

This is what I could achieve by above mentioned ways -
