Hi @SSWADOOD ,

As I tested, the icon will not display in visual. It seems that conditional formatting don't support icons that use UINICHAR function very well. You may consider using SVG to configure conditional formatting by referring to the links below.

@SSWADOOD , This usually works as a separate measure of what option are you using in the icon formatting to give this icon  ?
