I would love to see ✚ 'HEAVY GREEK CROSS' (U+271A) in Iosevka, several git/scm prompts for shells use it to signal that files have changed (example: https://github.com/olivierverdier/zsh-git-prompt).

The same goes for ✖ 'HEAVY MULTIPLICATION X' (U+2716).

Hi! I'd like to request a hourglass character (u231b). I use it to indicate background jobs in my shell prompt.

Hi,

For that rare but celebrated occasion when someone uses an interrobang (‽) (U+203D), it would be nice to have one in this amazing font. There's also a corresponding "inverted interrobang" or "gnaborretni" (⸘) (U+2E18).

The simple and straightforward route is to simply overlap the ! and ?, but in my opinion that too closely resembles a P or D or simply a smudged question mark to be semantically obvious at a glance. An image search indicates that there is some room for alternatives, such as these demonstrate:

  • question mark with hat

  • shared dot, angled paths

  • layered interleaving

I have some more symbol suggestions:

  • inbox tray (U+1F4E5) 📥
  • envelope (U+2709) ✉
  • return symbol (U+23CE) ⏎
  • paperclip (U+1F4CE) 📎
  • page with curl (U+1F4C3) 📃
  • ant (U+1F41C) 🐜
  • lock (U+1F512) 🔒
  • black universal recycling symbol (U+267B) ♻

I use those as tags in alot, a terminal based email program.

Also, I'd like to see any global symbol, such as GLOBE WITH MERIDIANS (U+1F310), EARTH GLOBE EUROPE-AFRICA (U+1F30D) or EARTH GLOBE ASIA-AUSTRALIA (U+1F30F), which I'd like to use in a calendar program as the symbol for 'change timezone'.

Perhaps I should initiate a new project called “Imposed Iosevka” and provide a mechanism to add icon-like symbols into Iosevka, using the script in ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#83.

How is #90 coming along? I would love to help out a little with these requests.

@leiserfg

I love iosevka but i think that if a less esoteric language where used for making it (js or at most a classical lisp), more people could help to add glyphs.

@be5invis
Copy link
Owner Author

@leiserfg You can provide vectors...
I do not have much time on this project currently, maybe I should really make an API now.

@leiserfg
Copy link

A way to test the added glyph without needing to build the full typography can help too. "Let's do Iosevka awesome again" :D

@be5invis

@leiserfg Well, there is a proposed font called WUGNER uses a publisher-subscriber pattern that allows us for partial building, but Iosevka is still made in the traditional way :(

The interrobang looks great. It would be nice to have a matching inverted interrobang (⸘) (U+2E18).

Thanks for the great font. May I request for a couple of more symbols?

In addition, can we have the star symbol and the circle at the same height and same size respectively in the following symbols:

0x233d    ⌽    APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL CIRCLE STILE
0x2349    ⍉    APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL CIRCLE BACKSLASH

I would love a U+002A * Asterisk variant that is low and six-pointed, as in Menlo.

Iosevka with all the Menlo variants is my favourite font.

To add Emoji support I need a serious designer... It should be better handled using font fallback (for Conhost, see microsoft/terminal#190)

@be5invis I did some more digging into fallback fonts and emoji support. After installing noto-fonts-emoji (on Arch Linux) I'm able to see the snake (🐍) in my terminal. Thanks very much for this font!

I wonder if a lot of the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols (U+1D400U+1D7FF) that are just variations (eg bold and slant) on normal letters and digits (eg 𝐀) could just be generated as slight variations on the existing regular, italic and oblique fonts, with different weight. I use them in Julia code, eg 𝐱 for a vector.

Hi. Seems "Vertical Ellipsis" (U+22EE) is missed
