Add Rounded Chinese Folk Symbols. Fú Lù Shòu etc. #431

Closed RobertWinslow closed 1 year ago

RobertWinslow commented 1 year ago

This pull request adds 6 unicode characters, representing special highly-stylized rounded versions of several Chinese characters.

These characters aren't used in sentences, but rather as standalone symbols. Even though they are not part of the emoji standard, they feel very 'emoji-adjacent' to me. See the following for the original unicode proposal for these symbols: Six New Symbols from Chinese Folk Religion It contains a good description of the symbols and their use.

I've also created enclosed versions of each of these (not included in the pull request).

If you would prefer these versions of the designs, just let me know, and I can swap them in.

(In my testing, the non-enclosed versions retain legibility at significantly smaller sizes. I do think the enclosed version of Fu looks much better than the non-enclosed version, but I've committed the non-enclosed version for consistency with the other designs.)

Edit: Pull request now uses these versions.

@RobertWinslow Super! Very nice addition! I believe from the OpenMoji Stylegiode perspective the enclosed versions fit better overall to OpenMoji. Hence I would vote to use the enclosed ones instead. cc @dnlutz

SRC files have been swapped for their enclosed versions.
