In layer styling for labels, in the formatting tab there is the option to wrap multiple lines on a specified character. However, there is not any setting that will display the character that is being wrapped on.

Please test with QGIS 3.4 - QGIS 2.18 reached it's end of life.

Well... this is technically still valid but... I can't understand the request (not really a bug). The character is displayed... where it is configured (in the "wrap in character" setting), where else it should show?

Can't remember the details of this, I am guessing, on the label itself.

but not being visible in/on the label is the whole point of the "wrap on character" configuration.
