Text objects are defined by the following attributes of a UI(User Interface) Allows a user to interact with your application. Unity currently supports three UI systems. More info
See in Glossary control:
text
attribute of some UI controls, such as Label or TextElement, that sets the display text.value
attribute of the TextField that accepts the input text, and the label
attribute that sets the display text for TextField.You can use USS text properties to style text, such as set the font size and color, etc.
You can also add a new font to style text. Convert fonts to font assets before you use them in your project. In addition to USS styling, you can use rich text tags to style certain words in a text string.
