Custom Data Label Error for Korean text - No proper display

Hello, I tried Custom Label function from recent update (aka. Measure-Driven Data Label ).

The functionality itself was great but it didn't work properly everytime when I put Korean text together.

Below is my measure syntax as an example and one below is the visual outcome when used with Custom Label.

 

forCustomLabel = FORMAT([Export], "#,0,,")  &  "억"
 

It seems like Korean words get converted into signs and numbers somehow.

How can I handle this? Or is this a bug to be fixed?

 

*Just for your info, "억" is one of the units commonly used specifically in Korea.

    Hello ken ,

     

    Instead of using that units sign directly use that number in UNICHAR function so your custom label measure looks as below:

    forCustomLabel = FORMAT([Export], "#,0,,")  &  UNICHAR(50613)

     

    If this post helps, then please consider accepting it as the solution to help other members find it more quickly. Thank You!!

      Unfortunately, it still doesn't make any changes.

      Plus, I think it should also support other languages than English basically.

       

      forCustomLabel = FORMAT([Export], "#,0,,")  &  UNICHAR(50613)

      Same as before. How about your side?

        Hello ken , Its working for me, please check the language that you selected as preference in Power BI.
