This is a numeric entry field component, if you want the **F** use a label

Because you're using a Numeric Entry field.

The best approach, both from a UI/UX point of view and also for performance would be to just use a label next to the NumericEntryField to display the units. This way, you're not locked in to just a single unit, you don't have to worry about text alignment issues based on the size of the value, and you don't have to pay the cost of the transform.
