Icon Conditional Formatting: UNICHAR not working

I am trying to create a dax code that will populate Icons from a Unicode number. I created a new measure titled "IconCode" and I am using this as a field value in the conditional formatting for this matrix table as seen below.

However the issue is the UNICHAR() function is not working, there is no icon populating from the Unicode. I know the Unicode works when not used as a field format for the icon conditional formatting, as can be seen by the white check mark next to the word "Measure".

This code also DOES function properly when I replace the UNICHAR function with "CircleHalf" as can be seen belowWith_Icons.png

I have no idea why I cannot use the UNICHAR function, can anyone help with this issue please?

Hi @Earosenfeld ,

 

Incase this is not working,

 

You can try using SVG's.
