Ah, uitable is different than table() objects.
Are you working with traditional figures, or are you working with App Designer? uitables are quite different internally between the two.

Traditional uitable() are based on java objects that happen to support HTML constructs. You can begin any ColumnName entry with '<html>', and then after that, at the point you want to move to the next line, put in '<br>'
For example, an entry of '<html>this is a long line,<br>but split'
If you needed automatic adjustment as the widths were resized, then in theory you could use '<html><table>' but it probably won't work well, even if you use '<html><table width="20%"><tr>this is a long long' . It isn't that playing with the width= with percentages or absolute pixels does nothing, but it just doesn't usually do what you would like.

uitable inside app designer use completely different formatting methods. I do not know the details.

I found that uitable appears to use ASCII, so using newline (ASCII character decimal 10) gives multiple line column headings (using 2022a).
For example:
t.ColumnName = {'Signal' ['Carrier' newline 'Frequency' newline '(Hz)']};
