Edit: This sub is included in XUI Views library: XUIViewsUtils.SetTextOrCSBuilderToLabel
This sub accepts a string or CSBuilder and sets it as the Label's text. It is useful for cross platform solutions.
Note that the Text parameter type is Object.
In order to support FontAwesome or Material Icons characters (in B4i), the code needs to check whether the value is a number and if so it treats it as a unicode point value.
If you want to pass a number then convert it to a string first:

B4X:
Public Sub SetTextOrCSBuilderToLabel(xlbl As B4XView, Text As Object)
#if B4A or B4J
xlbl.Text = Text
#else if B4i
If Text Is CSBuilder And xlbl Is Label Then
Dim lbl As Label = xlbl
lbl.AttributedText = Text
Else
If GetType(Text) = "__NSCFNumber" Then Text = "" & Chr(Text)
xlbl.Text = Text
End If
#end if
