Asterism Feature Request #456

Open Evotron opened 3 years ago

Evotron commented 3 years ago

Incusion of asterism glyph,

which is glyph № 2042 of the Unicode standard. More information about the asterism can be found on the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterism_(typography)

Here is an image of a page that uses two asterisms between three blocks of text: James_Joyce,_Ulysses,_1ed_2pr,_p240

Currently, Cascadia does not have the asterism glyph. (If I missed it, please let me know so I can close this issue.)

Inclusion of the asterism glyph would allow me to use the asterism without having to fall back on another typeface. When writing, I could use the asterism glyph as I see fit, for example, to separate sections, to denote special cases, for decoration, etc.

I would like, when inputting the asterism glyph on my keyboard, for the asterism glyph to display in Cascadia when writing in a text editor.

Thanks! I'll add it to the list. In the meanwhile, using *** will get you something of an approximation, or consider the ❧ symbol. :)
