Concatenate and display a string variable and a symbol in a Text view in SwiftUI

Question

I need to concatenate and display a string variable and a symbol in a Text view in SwiftUI, I basically need the effect you get when using string interpolation as follows...

Text("Some Text \(Image(systemName: "star"))")

I basically need to display text and a symbol but the text comes from a variable, something like the following which gives me an error...

    let someText = "Some Text"
    let someTextPlusImage = someText + Text(Image(systemName: "star")

    Text(someTextPlusImage)

Error:

error: Segmentation fault: 11

How can I concatenate and display a string variable and a symbol in a Text view in SwiftUI?

A String isn't a View You can + a String with a String and a Text with a Text but not a String with a Text — lorem ipsum

Insert like this

Text("\(someText) \(Image(systemName: "star"))")

God, I tried "\(someText) \(Image(systemName: "star"))" but didn't work, I never tried Text("\(someText) \(Image(systemName: "star"))"). I did the trick. Thanks a lot.

Next variant also works (for example if needed in ForEach, etc.)

Text(someText) + Text(Image(systemName: "star"))
