Icon request: `xyz` #1692

Open hbugdoll opened 2 months ago

hbugdoll commented 2 months ago

A xyz icon showing capital letters XYZ analog to abc (ABC) would be useful.

tphinney commented 2 months ago

Why? What are some use cases for this?

(Most times the use cases are obvious to me, or they are given in the request. But this one I am not immediately understanding. If it were to do reverse alphabetical sorting, I would expect ZYX instead of XYZ.)

referencing to a XYZ coordinate system resp. XYZ vectors
referencing the end of the alphabet in constrast to the start via abc icon
as a placeholder identifier/name
or with regard to the TLD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.xyz

It seems to me as if at least some of these could/would be distinct from each other:

I have seen icons for XYZ coordinate systems, and they usually include arrows for the axes.
The TLD should probably start with a leading period, and probably be lower case (.xyz).

There are both variants, with arrows and without. It should be mentioned in this context that there is also a XYZ file format.

Totally agree! It was probably too late when I was writing this.
