Add general purpose advance/percentage icon set

[memeplex]

One idea is to make this set similar to the battery set but with the outline being a simple, non battery-shaped, rectangle.

Another idea is for the outline to be a circle and the different percentages/levels to be indicated as in a pie chart.

Finally, it could be an hexagonal outline with six states represented by a progression of triangles.

Hi!

Thanks for being part of the Font Awesome Community.

Like Lineageos' battery indicator?

I don't know about this, do you have an example?

There are some unicode symbols in the geometric shape section from which a pie chart progression can be made, but only by quarters. The hexagon idea was to provide six clearly distinguishable states.

Just the outer circle of this image:

like #1789, but with an outlined circle

I was thinking about something a bit more solid, like the second icon here:

With just one color and the outline width to play with it won't be easy to get a pure-outline indicator with clearly distinct states. The solid (pie-chart style) is more obvious and consistent with common panel icons (as the ones in my screenshot), but you will be hard pressed to distinguish anything beyond quarters. The hexagon makes it easier to include more visually distinct states in the set.

To elaborate on the battery-like alternative a bit more: it could be something like the fifth icon in my screenshot but with a plain right side, 3 or 4 thermometer-style marks could be added along the upper side.

+1 on the whole excellent idea

A simple pie chart with a fine-grained control over actual percentage visualised would be very useful indeed.
