Answer 1

Also another option if you only need one line of text and have a fixed-width typeface (monospace or Asian fonts):

Limit the TextView width to fit just one character. The height can be wrap_content.

Answer 2

Add \n after every letter. In the layout xml it won't appear right, but running it to an actual device or emulator will appear correct.

 <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:text="h\ne\nl\nl\no\n w\no\nr\nl\nd" />

you can set the layout_height to wrap_content as well.

Answer 3

A simple solution may be to insert a \n after each character, and make sure that the the height is set to fill_parent.
