Does UI Builder support Unicode character sequences?

The following Unicode character sequence labels are displayed differently for each package combination.

<ui:UXML
        xmlns:ui="UnityEngine.UIElements"
        xmlns:uie="UnityEditor.UIElements"
        xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        engine="UnityEngine.UIElements"
        editor="UnityEditor.UIElements"
        noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../UIElementsSchema/UIElements.xsd"
        editor-extension-mode="False">
    <ui:Label text="\u0182" style="font-size: 100%; -unity-text-align: middle-center; width: 100%; height: 100%;" />
</ui:UXML>
  • Unity2020.2.7f1 + UIBuilder 1.0.0-preview.12
  • Unity2021.1.0b10 (with build-in UIBuilder)
  • Unity2021.2.0ab (with build-in UIBuilder and UIToolkit)

  • Unity2020.2.7f1 + UIBuilder 1.0.0-preview.12 + UIToolkit 1.0.0-preview.14
  • Unity2021.1.0b10 (with build-in UIBuilder) + UIToolkit 1.0.0-preview.14

I want the input field of UIBuilder to display the Unicode character sequence and the preview to display the character.

I want to use google material design icon font easily.

We have our icon font as a fallback font of the font asset in the TextSettings. This works fine in playmode but this does not show in the ui builder since here that is not used.

What I did during developement: I set an uss icon-class and put the font there like @shiena shows in the screenshot.
When finished I removed the font from the class
