1 year ago @jordanpwood We do have metadata files, such as an icons.yml and .json file that include icon names, along with their supported unicode mappings. Those are available in our icon downloads.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
I'm using Font Awesome Pro in an iOS app. Although it's possible to just import and use the Pro ttf files by themselves, it would mean that I'd have to refer to them by their unicode code, which is hard to read and maintain. There's an open source library here which I'd like to use. It is mostly a system for auto-generating a mapping of the Font Awesome icon names to their unicode characters. For the Pro icons, it was scraping this cheatsheet for the icon names. However, that cheatsheet has not been updated for FA 6 icons, so the library can't update to version 6 mappings.
Is there another place to get the icon name-to-unicode mappings for Pro icons? Hopefully one that will be maintained going forward. Even better would be an officially supported Swift framework for accessing Font Awesome in apps. However, I'd be satisfied if there was a way for that open source project to continue upgrading Font Awesome versions.
