Add another check to see if value is 0

I am currently comparing montly valuues to the previous month to identify if the value has gone up or down. However, i want to be able to show if the value has stayed the same so the monthly change is "0". 

 

i have the current measure which works for Up and Down

"Change = IF(SUM([Percentage]) >= [Prev Month], UNICHAR(9650), UNICHAR(9660))"

 

Is there a way to add another check in to see if the differenece is 0 and if it is instead of an arrow add a "-" i will then add a conditional format to make it so the it changes the colour to yellow/amber. 

 

EG:

0 -

I have managed to this with the following:

 

Change2 = 
IF(
    SUM([Percentage]) > [Prev Month], 
        UNICHAR(129053), 
    IF (
        SUM([Percentage]) < [Prev Month], 
            UNICHAR(129055),
        IF(
            SUM([Percentage]) = [Prev Month],
                UNICHAR(8210))
    )
)

Try Switch , example

"Change = Switch(true() , 
SUM([Percentage]) >= [Prev Month],  UNICHAR(9650)
,SUM([Percentage]) = [Prev Month],  "-"
, UNICHAR(9660))"
