Hello there! First of all, I'm sorry in advance, if my message's tone is not suitable for that mail list. Next, I'd like to discuss the chances of some characters to be added in Unicode at all. Most of all I interested about:
1) Full-height right and left isosceles triangles, positioned in the edges of the glyph space (so, when concatinated with space symbol on the background of same color of it's foreground, it looks integrally [ref: triangles_demo attach, although there is font rendering artefacts anyway, but, I hope, I clearly decribed the idea]). ref: symbols on the both edges on the attached "pwl" picture 2) "Forking" characher (not the math one, but VCS one). ref: in the middle on the attached "pwl" picture. 3) "Pause" (media) character (it is ones for "play/pause" and "play" in the unicode already, but it not for "pause"). There is "cheats" like using two vertical bars instead, usually it looks very ugly. 4) "Power" (like on power buttons on electronic devices) And, actually, imho, it also be nice to have all of symbols from the picture in the Unicode. P.S. I'd also ask about some more symbols, which is "missed" in everyday life and substituted with glyphicons on the web (but, you know, it is impossible to use glyphicons in CLI/console applications ☹), like: "cart", "exit", "barcode" (ideally, including also "qr" and "datamatrix" ones), and more, and more, but let's initially talk about that ones I talked initially ☺ P.P.S.: and also it would be nice, I think, to have "icons" symbols of major OS brands (at least, Windows, MacOS, Linux, FreeBSD) to stop them (first two ones) of using Private set for that. -- Best regards, mva
