Icon request: ñ (spanish letter) #18831

Closed djkeltxo closed 4 months ago

aethior commented 2 years ago

Ñ, or ñ (Spanish: eñe, [[ˈeɲe]])), is a letter of the modern Latin alphabet, formed by placing a tilde (also referred to as a virgulilla in Spanish) on top of an upper- or lower-case N.[1] It became part of the Spanish alphabet in the eighteenth century when it was first formally defined, but it has subsequently been used in other languages, such as Galician, Asturian, the Aragonese Grafía de Uesca, Basque, Chavacano, some Philippine languages (especially Filipino and Bisayan), Chamorro, Guarani, Quechua, Mapudungun, Mandinka, and Tetum alphabets, as well as in Latin transliteration of Tocharian and many Indian languages, where it represents [ɲ] or [nʲ]. It represents [ŋ] in Crimean Tatar, Kazakh, ALA-LC romanization for Turkic languages, the Common Turkic Alphabet, Nauruan and romanized Quenya. In Breton and in Rohingya, it denotes nasalization of the preceding vowel. Many Portuguese speakers use this letter in informal internet language to represent the word não (no).

@tagliala alphabet (category) label for this request?

Hi,

I think this request is legit and omitting letters is something that I would avoid, but having individual requests for a single letter outside the latin alphabet could easily end up in hundred of separate requests, so I'm going to ask @sensibleworld some thoughts.

Should we allow them in groups of letters, like Accented as, Accented es? In groups of "language-specific letters"?

As a reference, we have a request for the greek alphabet at #2828, open and temporarily labeled as wontfix back in 2016 (I would remove that label now)

This is a quick update to let folks know that we’re refining our icon request workflow behind the scenes, and as part of that we’re going through all open requests and filing them into several new buckets to be addressed.

In this case we’re closing this issue because we think it might be too niche, or just not a good fit for Font Awesome.

But if you feel really strongly about it, feel free to make your case by submitting a new issue.
