create multiple spannables, set different fonts to them, etc, and combine them — Vladyslav Matviienko, Dec 11 '18 at 11:43
You can use it `Html.FromHtml(hwr.Text, FromHtmlOptions.ModeLegacy).ToString()` — R15, Dec 11 '18 at 12:21

For Android : Spannable Text is the best option.

For Xamarin.Forms :

If you have already written Custom Renderer for Button then you can use the Spannable in Xamarin android same way like android does.

If you don't want to write render in Xamarin, then i you can add two different labels in a stack layout and handle the stack layout click via code behind or by writing Button command for stack layout.

Try the following:

        Button button = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.myButton);

        SpannableStringBuilder spannable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Big Little");
        spannable.SetSpan(new AbsoluteSizeSpan(50), 0, 3, SpanTypes.ExclusiveInclusive);
        spannable.SetSpan(new AbsoluteSizeSpan(25), 4, 10, SpanTypes.ExclusiveInclusive);

        button.SetText(spannable, TextView.BufferType.Editable);
