	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Label displays plain text on the screen. It gives you control over the horizontal and vertical alignment and can wrap the text inside the node's bounding rectangle. It doesn't support bold, italics, or other formatting. For that, use [RichTextLabel] instead.
		[b]Note:[/b] Contrarily to most other [Control]s, Label's [member Control.mouse_filter] defaults to [constant Control.MOUSE_FILTER_IGNORE] (i.e. it doesn't react to mouse input events). This implies that a label won't display any configured [member Control.hint_tooltip], unless you change its mouse filter.
		[b]Note:[/b] Unicode characters after [code]0xffff[/code] (such as most emoji) are [i]not[/i] supported on Windows. They will display as unknown characters instead. This will be resolved in Godot 4.0.
