Unicode numbers for Arrows in Card new visuals

I have seen several old posts around using unichar, and it was very helpful, and I was able to get my calculated metrics work, but my arrows are so small and I can't find the way to increase the size, (to fill/fit the box little better)? I would ideally prefer to have those as a part of my Matrix table, but could not make that work in this case. Only works as another row, but I need those two as columns. So to work around I am trying to use Card visual next to my table and alling all of my metric rows and make it work. I only wish I can have better looking/bigger arrows? Any suggestions? Thank you!

My table visual, with two Cards visuals on the right.

Hi @Mk60 

 

These are sample numbers for the arrow. Please also look into DAX-generated SVG images which can be used as conditional formatting icons. Note: some SVG images although will render as an image url wont render as conditional formatting icons.

If you like the look of your current arrows, the only way to make them bigger is to increase the text size (which will also increase the size of your numbers too). Otherwise, look into using a different set of arrows - you can check which ones are available here: https://symbl.cc/en/collections/arrow-symbols/
