How to manage the line spacing in UILabel vertically

Question

I am implementing a UILabel vertically.

The text has custom line spacing in iOS 7 & 8 with autolayout storyboard.Please check attachment.

An option (probably not the best one, but it's something) is to have two separate labels for the B and the K and set the position and height for each so they appear to be the same.

With the right values they wouldn't have any gap between them, and line up on the edges, so there would be no queue that they're separate elements on the screen. And you could set the B to be bottom aligned and the K to be top aligned and use the label margins to get the desired spacing between them.
