    Hello @MarcelLee,

    I don't think this is possible. You could however use HTMLText control for that. It looks and functions very similar to the Label control. Example:

    HTMLText1.HtmlText="♠"

    or

    HTMLText1.HtmlText="♠"

    Hi @MarcelLee,

    Do you want to display Unicode code within a Label control?

    I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently. If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please consider submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

    Best regards,

    Hello @MarcelLee,

    Did you mean this symbol?Capture.PNG

     I don't see a symbol with code "e768" on that page. The one form the picture above is the only one I could find that contains "768" on that page.

    I found the "Play" symbol here: https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_utf_geometric.asp though and you can use it as following:

    HTMLText1.HtmlText="▶"

    ...or the symbol from the picture above:

    HTMLText1.HtmlText="☨"

    Please note that the notations above follow the standard HTML rules for displaying symbols and are not specific to PowerApps.

    Hello @dinusc

    I had this symbol in mind:

    That seems to be a font specific symbol. You can use something like this instead:

    HTMLText1.HtmlText="▷"

    I found that symbol here:
