{{{1}}}

Usage

{{User:ChristTrekker/UnicodeSymbol|char|subject=subject}} where subject is animal, astro, chemistry, communication, dentistry, education, emoticon, enclosed, event, food, game, map, medicine, money, music, person, picto, plant, polireli, region, sport, technology, time, ui, warning, or weather.

Purpose

Often the default font does not contain some of the more "obscure" Unicode symbols, and the UA's font-substitution is poor. This template allows authors to specify a subject area, which can be used to select a font that not only contains the symbol, but a good glyphic representation of it, and have a reasonable expectation that the symbol used in a group of similar symbols will have a coherent appearance.

Groups

These are descriptive, not prescriptive. Some characters may belong in more than one group.

Basic geometric shapes are intentionally not included here, unless they have direct applicability to an existing group (e.g. UI). Characters in surveyed Unicode blocks thus considered are listed as "N/A".

Font survey

Alan Wood's website is useful for this, as is BabelStone's custom font list.

For most symbol groups, the difference between serif and sans-serif probably isn't significant, but for groups that contain letter-like symbols it may be preferred to specify the sans-serif in a toss-up. Also, if Symbola is tied with another typeface, it should be used after the other, as its author uses unrelated images to create the glyphs rather than a unified design.

(The following table was last updated 2014.)

Here are the fonts mentioned above, listed by CSS family, for rough comparison. Fonts included standard by a recent operating system release are marked with a superscript denoting the OS. The fact that a font is nonstandard should not preclude its use—if a user does have it, it's helpful to suggest it to him.
