{{{1}}}

Usage

edit

{{User:ChristTrekker/UnicodeSymbol|char|subject=subject}} where subject is animal, astro, chemistry, communication, dentistry, education, emoticon, enclosed, event, food, game, map, medicine, money, music, person, picto, plant, polireli, region, sport, technology, time, ui, warning, or weather.

Purpose

edit

Often the default font does not contain some of the more "obscure" Unicode symbols, and the UA's font-substitution is poor. This template allows authors to specify a subject area, which can be used to select a font that not only contains the symbol, but a good glyphic representation of it, and have a reasonable expectation that the symbol used in a group of similar symbols will have a coherent appearance.

Groups

edit

These are descriptive, not prescriptive. Some characters may belong in more than one group.

Basic geometric shapes are intentionally not included here, unless they have direct applicability to an existing group (e.g. UI). Characters in surveyed Unicode blocks thus considered are listed as "N/A".

Font survey

edit

Alan Wood's website is useful for this, as is BabelStone's custom font list.

For most symbol groups, the difference between serif and sans-serif probably isn't significant, but for groups that contain letter-like symbols it may be preferred to specify the sans-serif in a toss-up. Also, if Symbola is tied with another typeface, it should be used after the other, as its author uses unrelated images to create the glyphs rather than a unified design.

(The following table was last updated 2014.)

group # characters possible fonts
animal 75 Apple Color Emoji (75), Symbola (75), Segoe UI Symbol (57), Brampton (24)
astro 71 Symbola (71), Quivira (63), Segoe UI Symbol (56), FreeSerif (46), Brampton (41), Apple Color Emoji (38), FreeMono (29)
chem 119 Quivira (119), Symbola (119)
communication 46 Symbola (46), Segoe UI Symbol (41), Apple Color Emoji (40), Quivira (18), Brampton (10), FreeSerif (10)
dentistry 15 Segoe UI Symbol (15), Quivira (15), FreeMono (15), Symbola (15)
education 18 Segoe UI Symbol (18), Symbola (18), Apple Color Emoji (16), Brampton (7)
emoticon 100 Apple Color Emoji (97), Segoe UI Symbol (87), Symbola (87), Brampton (73), FreeMono (5)

Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b A true test of regional indicators is not whether a font supports the individual code points, but whether it does something useful with two-letter pairs defined in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2. Apple Color Emoji supports the 10 pairs shown.
  2. ^ a b c Included in Ubuntu 11.10.
