Invisible dedicated-window marker on Windows11

[TomoeMami]

What's the symbol of this marker? I can't see it in both browser and Emacs GUI.

(propertize (if (window-dedicated-p) (or symbol " ") "") 'face (nano-modeline-face 'secondary)))

I have to re-defun it in my config.el, cause it takes several seconds to load my popper.el.

In browser:

In Emacs:

[etern]

install Symbols Nerd Font, and use it for this charater: (set-fontset-font t '(#xeba0 . #xeba0) "Symbols Nerd Font Mono")

Maybe the dedicated marker needs to be customizable and we could check if it is available (if not, fallback to a text marker like "D"). But I don't remember the function to test if a glyph is available.

Maybe we can search Symbols Nerd Font as an alternative approach.

In my case, I've Installed "Roboto Mono Nerd" so I'm not sure your code would work. And I suspect most user would want their own symbol such that a custom character might b the easy way. What do you think ?

I agree. Customization is the soul of Emacs.

In fact, I redefined the function nano-modeline-window-dedicated, replacing the PIN symbol with a more universal but less precising symbol ▼.

(defun nano-modeline-window-dedicated (&optional symbol)
  "Pin symbol when window is dedicated"

  (propertize (if (window-dedicated-p) (or symbol "▼ ") "")
              'face (nano-modeline-face 'secondary)))

Done.
