3 years ago What you are seeing are fallback characters, rendered in a different font. None of the code points you list are supported in Source Code Pro (presumably also not in Consolas etc.):
| code point | character | name | supported |
|---|---|---|---|
| U+2027 | ‧ | HYPHENATION POINT | ✘ |
| U+2218 | ∘ | RING OPERATOR | ✘ |
| U+22C5 | ⋅ | DOT OPERATOR | ✘ |
| U+2E31 | ⸱ | WORD SEPARATOR MIDDLE DOT | ✘ |
If you have a use case (with examples) for these characters, you may consider changing this issue to a “please add xxx” request. Thanks!
The following characters appear unexpectedly narrow: ‧ U+2027 Hyphenation Point ∘ U+2218 Ring Operator ⋅ U+22C5 Dot Operator ⸱ U+2E31 Word Separator Middle Dot
These characters also appear narrow in any other of the few monospaced fonts that I tried (Courier, Consolas, Cascadia Mono, Lucida Console), so there may be a common reason.
I tested rendering these characters with Visual Studio Code and Windows Notepad. All listed characters appear narrow on both.
