Seeing stuff like this, but knowing we can not get a unicode symbol for the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flourish_of_approval https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flourish_of_approval despite how ubiqitous it is in the Netherlands always frustrates me.
- vanderZwan 6mo agoPerhaps we would have more of a chance if we make a collection of international differences in checkmark designs and propose that set of glyphs as a whole.
- yorwba 6mo agoIt doesn't seem like anybody ever filed the paperwork for it. (A search for "krul" on site:unicode.org doesn't turn up anything.) Unicode symbols don't just magically appear! Somebody has to do a bit of work to make it happen. If you're frustrated by a missing symbol, that somebody is probably you!
- kookybakker 6mo agoI am quite sure it has been submitted and rejected before although indeed in my short search just now I couldn't find evidence for this statement. Edit: Seems like the earlier attempt stopped before ever getting to the proposal stage, maybe it is worth pushing through even though some of the requirements for the unicode standards can not be met.
