UniChar Codes - Is there a cheat Sheet of Codes

[chad.sharpe]

Hi,
I use the UniChar function allot in PowerBi to create Up and Down arrows in DAX.

Trend UniCAR = SWITCH(TRUE(),
MEASURE > 0,
UNICHAR(9650), UNICHAR(9660))

Can anyone point me to a cheat sheet of UNICHAR codes that I could use? I thought a quick google search would give me this… but i can’t find anything out there?

TIP: Unichar Code Finder PBIX

Hi All: While preparing for challenge #5, I started a small PBIX to test how unicode values rendered inside Power BI Desktop and identify a few I might find useful. I cleaned it up a bit and added some named measures, and I thought I’d share it with you as a reference. Greg TEST Unichar.pbix (2.3 MB) DAX UNICHAR - Select Codes.xlsx (15.6 KB)

Answer: There are several places that have unicode characters (which are the characters used in UNICHAR )

1. Unicode Character Code Charts - this is maintained by the Unicode Consortium, and will have the most complete current list (because it keeps growing). However, this is a PDF resource, and can be overwhelming to use.

2. Huge List of Unicode Character Symbols (vertex42.com) - I don’t think this is updated, but you will find hundreds of symbols here, categorized and showing the symbol in a very readable format.

3. SYMBL (◕‿◕) a very searchable database, and large representation of the symbols. It does appear that they try to keep this updated, last release is 15.0.0 of the unicode tables.
