Power Query not rendering Unicode

[wcarter]

As can be seen in the above screenshot, using certain unicode characters results in the placeholder box instead of the character or an incorrectly rendered character. In this case these characters:

🟢

🟡

🔴

🔵

They all render fine in the main Power BI interface but in the power query editor they are broken. I am on the lates August 2023 version of Power BI.

Hi @wcarter ,

I'm a little confused about your needs, Could you please explain them further? It would be good to provide a screenshot of the results you are expecting and desensitized example data.

Best regards,

Thank you for looking at this, there is a screenshot of the power query editor at the top of my original post, it is a bit small but it is there. In it you can see that the characters I pasted into my message, the colorful circles, do not render correctly. To reproduce:

1. Copy this symbol to the clipboard: 🟢

2. Paste this symbol into the formula bar in Power Query: 

That's it, you should see then that the symbol fails to render correctly per unicode standards: https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F780.pdf
