Sprites inside your text boxes! How to use sprites in Unity 6 TextMesh Pro
Setup and use of sprites in TextMesh Pro is much easier than you might think and I will show you how. All you need is a sprite sheet and a few minutes of time. It is easy to set up and works well together with style tags, too! Typical use cases are sprites of buttons that need to be clicked, small icons of items, or even small portraits.
