Interesting. What do you see on the line below? (It should be two arrows.)

⯇ ⯈

quackerex commented 1 year ago

Nope on Firefox.

I guess these unicode characters doesn't work on macOS. https://graphemica.com/%E2%AF%88 https://graphemica.com/%E2%AF%87

However, these characters work for me which look similar to ⯇ ⯈. https://graphemica.com/%E2%8F%B5 (⏵) https://graphemica.com/%E2%8F%B4 (⏴)

Thanks, that's very helpful.

How do these look? I'm experimenting with some other options.

I saw this advice in a Stack Overflow comment that relates to symbols not showing.

If you are going to use a symbol, it's best to load a library, such as Font Awesome, so that you don't have to rely on your users having the necessary font to support the symbol you are using.

Regarding "← →", I can see them correctly with the default system font (which is what GitHub using).

However, it can look different depending on the web font. For example, this is what it looks like with Ariel font (which is what Wikipedia using here)

Thanks. Yes, it does seem to vary quite a bit depending on the font.
