@rbong, Hello, I'm very glad to see you here :D. I think these symbols are more good-looking than ASCII box drawing symbols. I still have some question, are these symbols work only on kitty? Will these characters be included in Nerd fonts? |

Hi @rbong, these are first look of new unicode when applied to Fugit2 Graph. Here are some of my feedback: |

Are you using the TTF font for patching? In Kitty it will line up perfectly. Otherwise, according to the author of Kitty, it's impossible to get them to line up perfectly with all the different font options. This is why the feature was added to Kitty to draw these symbols itself. Sorry I forgot to mention this earlier, I hope you're still interested in the symbols. I used the dimensions of box drawing characters in Nerd Fonts. Ie, if your box drawing characters will line up using pure Nerd Fonts, these symbols will line up. But I have found that some terminals draw box drawing characters themselves to get around this. I tried a lot of combinations, but I could not find dimensions that worked in every font size on every terminal. If anyone can find more information on this I'm happy to change the dimensions of the symbols to something better.
I will make them bigger.
So it seems like we need all of these symbols, correct?
Where I have a couple notes about symbol usage as well: The intended symbol for this is
The intended usage for It seems like we could use symbols for branch crossovers. I know some branch viewers show one branch "hopping" over the horizontal line. Would you be happy with a character like this, or do you want the "dotted line" character? Example of the "hopping" I'm talking about: |

Good morning @rbong, can I ask for some extra symbol? I'm working with Git Rebase graph, in which you can show git graph beside rebase action. Could you support fixup commit and squash commit symbol :D |

I added the new symbols we discussed to flog-symbols and created a PR to Kitty with the new symbols and larger commit circles. |

There are new branch drawing characters that were recently added to Kitty. Hopefully other terminals will follow suit and add these characters, and fonts will add backup glyphs as well.
Would you consider using these characters? If not, is there anything you'd change? It's still fairly experimental and we can get away with adding missing glyphs.
