Unicode 13 sextants U+1FB00--U+1FB3B #607

Closed dankamongmen closed 6 months ago

dankamongmen commented 2 years ago

Unicode 13 introduced the "Symbols for Legacy Computing" block:

Symbols_for_Legacy_Computing_Unicode_block

The first 60 codepoints together with the existing FULL BLOCK, space, RIGHT HALF BLOCK, and LEFT HALF BLOCK form the "sextants". Among other things, these can be used as a general-purpose blitter, and indeed my Notcurses library does exactly this.

It would be nice to have them present in Cascadia Code.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I'd like to see the Cascadia Code and Cascadia Mono fonts augmented with these 60 codepoints. I'm happy to do this myself and submit it as a PR, but wanted to hear from the team before doing the necessary work.

These glyphs are about as algorithmic and specified as one can get, so there hopefully won't be much debate about how they ought look.

ahhh, i see that #597 asks for the complete Symbols for Legacy Computing block. well, i'm willing to do the work on the sextants, but other elements of that block are beyond my small capabilities.
