Powerline symbols?

[Christoph Päper]

Font Awesome only recently started adding Unicode mapping to many of its characters, finally. <https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/222#issuecomment-860199230> 

There are many other symbol fonts out there that are used primarily in web design. A lot of the symbols don’t really differ much, graphically and semantically, from ones already encoded. Different fonts use different PUA assignments, though. As with original Japanese emojis, Unicode should step in and lead an effort to harmonize and standardize the code points used for (non-logo) pictographs. 

Cheers
