Xamarin Forms is Multicolored Text possible?

Question

I'm porting a text based game that uses RTF to color each character of text individually. On windows forms I use the Rich Text Box. On the .net core console port I made, I convert the colors to ConsoleColor and print each character individually. On Xamarin, I haven't found a way to display multicolor text. Is there something I'm missing? The research I did said that there wasn't a Rich Text Box on Xamarin Forms, but maybe there is some other way to achieve my goal. Thank you

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

You can use Formatted text to achieve color each character of text individually. Here is simple about it.

   <Label LineBreakMode="WordWrap">  
                       <Label.FormattedText>  
                           <FormattedString>  
                               <Span Text="R" TextColor="Red"  />  
                               <Span Text="G" TextColor="Green"  />  
                               <Span Text="B" TextColor="Blue"  >  
                               </Span>  
                           </FormattedString>  
                       </Label.FormattedText>  
                   </Label>
