[RFC] Discussion about chances of some characters to be added in Unicode

[Vadim A. Misbakh-Soloviov]

Hello there!

First of all, I'm sorry in advance, if my message's tone is not suitable for 
that mail list.
Next, I'd like to discuss the chances of some characters to be added in 
Unicode at all.
Most of all I interested about:

1) Full-height right and left isosceles triangles, positioned in the edges of 
the glyph space (so, when concatinated with space symbol on the background of 
same color of it's foreground, it looks integrally [ref: triangles_demo 
attach, although there is font rendering artefacts anyway, but, I hope, I 
clearly decribed the idea]).
ref: symbols on the both edges on the attached "pwl" picture

2) "Forking" characher (not the math one, but VCS one).
ref: in the middle on the attached "pwl" picture.

3) "Pause" (media) character (it is ones for "play/pause" and "play" in the 
unicode already, but it not for "pause"). There is "cheats" like using two 
vertical bars instead, usually it looks very ugly.

4) "Power" (like on power buttons on electronic devices)

And, actually, imho, it also be nice to have all of symbols from the picture 
in the Unicode.

P.S. I'd also ask about some more symbols, which is "missed" in everyday life 
and substituted with glyphicons on the web (but, you know, it is impossible to 
use glyphicons in CLI/console applications ☹), like: "cart", "exit", "barcode" 
(ideally, including also "qr" and "datamatrix" ones), and more, and more, but 
let's initially talk about that ones I talked initially ☺

P.P.S.: and also it would be nice, I think, to have "icons" symbols of major 
OS brands (at least, Windows, MacOS, Linux, FreeBSD) to stop them (first two 
ones) of using Private set for that.
