HTML in YII2 Kartik Gridview column label (not heading)

Question

I have a Kartik gridview in YII2 and I need to be able to put HTML into the label (not header, I'll come to that) of a column.

My column definition is as such

        [
            'attribute' => 'picked_percent',
            'format' => 'raw',
            'label' => 'P<span class="responsive">icked</span>',
        ],

But if I do this, it outputs

P<span class="drawn_head">icked </span>

I can change label to header and it looks fine but I need it to be clickable and it isn't when I change it to header.

I've also tried changing the format from raw to HTML and that makes no difference.

Any help is much appreciated.

If you want the label to not be encoded you need to add this config option in the column definition array:

'encodeLabel' => false
