I think it’s just an emoji, no? Can it be allowed to convert it to text in formulas? Then we can join it other text.

> Thanks for adding the option to set the icon via formula! This is great and I’m finally able to clean up a number of things! slightly_smiling_face What I did notice, however, is that if I want to use the Icon in the entity name formula or any other formula, the emoji is represented as heart and not as heart, not even ToText() allows me to get the emoji to display. Is there any trick? Thanks!
