font issue in SSRS

In our SSRS reporting if we need to show a status (traffic lights), then in a textbox we define font WINGDINGS and expression value as "l" then it shows it as traffic light type image 

I have a requirement I want to have that image and a text like "STATUS" in same 1 box

I tried to define a column in sql query with value  

<font = 'Wingdings' >I <font color = 'blue' >STATUS 

and then create a placeholder in a box and ticked option to interpret HTML. I am able to see text status with font color but not a wingding image in front of that

Any suggestions?
