may be a point of origin, as this is a piece of software actually
named "Powerline" and dating from a few years ago. It requires
its own special fonts (obviously, since the characters aren't
encoded), and credits <span style="left: 120px; top: 184.408px;

Schiavi for the glyphs (which is to say, he drew them, not
necessarily a claim of copyright or whatever.) I... guess the
only thing missing is a proposal? (Well, and approval of the
proposal, of course.)</span></p>

so-called "Powerline symbols" seem to have become practically an
industry standard in coding fonts. At least some of them (the
"branch" symbol has become very popular, it seems). I don't know
the source of them, why they're called that, etc; you can google
as well as I can (and probably some of you actually already know.)

is a page that showed up in my googling, for example. Is there a
reason _not_ to encode these? Are they copyrighted or something?
Or is it just a matter of needing a proposal?
