U+2122 Trademark is... Big #241

Open thomassuckow opened 5 years ago

U+2122 "™" in NotoColorEmoji seems disproportionally large, most fonts make it appear as a superscript.

I would also not be opposed to removing it from this font.

I agree it's best not presented as emoji.

I know this is an old issue, I've just found something that might support our point:

2122 ™️ TRADE MARK SIGN ≈ \<super> 0054 T 004D M

Why does NotoSansCombined map 2122 to the emoji glyph? 2122 does not have default emoji presentation, and should map to the text form of 2122 in Noto.

thomassuckow commented 5 years ago

There are a lot of glyphs that appear in both the text version and the emoji version of Noto. In most cases the Emoji glyph is prefered. Because noto is evolving I have a script that generates a css file with unicode-range statements so each font file is loaded only when a respective codepoint is used.

I could add a special rule to blacklist the 2122 emoji glyph but I am trying to avoid such specialized rules. Especially when I can't fathom when you would want a huge ™.

I'm slowly working to convince my company to allow open sourcing the script and publishing the output to NPM, at such a time I'll probably end up blacklisting 2122 from the emoji font.

This one is interesting.

@davelab6 most emoji fonts provide TM as non-superscripted. See https://emojipedia.org/trade-mark/
