Hi!

Wow, that is a whole bunch of potentially very large categories!

I should point out that one of the key features of the material icons / material symbols is that they are linear icons that work as small as 20 or 24 px, with lines which are normally 2 px thick. On top of that they need to be clear and simple enough to stand having a bold variant with even thicker lines! All that makes for limited detail—this makes it VERY challenging to consider having many different kinds of items within a category such as fruits, vegetables, animals, birds, etcetera. At least, that’s how I see it.

Additionally, some ideas about specific priorities or needs within these categories would be helpful. And/or, tell us why you need these things?

I love the library, I find it very easy to use, and I use it in all my projects, and I am currently working with a team on a big project and we are in great need of this variety of icons, it would be of great value I believe that not only for us, but for everyone who is using the same. And in the project we recently need animal icons, similar symbology similar to animals, symbology references to reactive items, from vegetables and fruits like apples, oranges, icons, potatoes, because the animal project will be necessary for the agricultural branch we come across no icon very few or no icon related to the subject, for this reason I came to talk about the possibility of having more icons that include other categories?
