Unicode god altars in console

Do you play console, but wish that you could get in on some of the fancy new looks the kids these days have with their tiles?

Thanks to the magic of unicode, you can!

Done by adding the following to your RC. Make sure your terminal font renders all of these glyphs as single-space symbols.

But really this thread is gonna be about bike shedding glyph choices (and maybe also other glyphs, tentacled monstrosity looks good as ᛤ, for example).

  Code:
# Unicode god altars

# "shattered"
feature += Ashenzari {※}
# "rough hewn"
feature += Beogh {⁑}
feature += Cheibriados {◴}
feature += Dithmenos {ᚤ}
# staff of aesculapius for the healer
feature += Elyvilon {⚕}
feature += Fedhas {❀}
feature += Gozag {₪}
# funeral urn of the ancestor
feature += Hepliaklqana {⚱}
feature += Jiyva {☣}
feature += Kikubaaqudgha {☠}
# "corrupted"
feature += Lugonu {▚}
# just because lowercase omega looks like flames
feature += Makhleb {ω}
feature += Nemelex Xobeh {⚜}
feature += Okawaru {⚔}
# meteorological symbol for thunderstorm
feature += Qazlal {☈}
feature += Ru {⚖}
# mimic the tile
feature += Sif Muna {♟}
feature += Trog {†}
feature += Uskayaw {♪}
# 16 pointed star. "radiant"
feature += Vehumet {✺}
# wheel of dharma
feature += Wu Jian {☸}
feature += Xom {⸘}
# a plain basalt altar sticks out in this flashy crowd
feature += Yredelemnul {☗}
# a quarter moon is the alchemical symbol for silver
feature += Zin {☽}
# alchemical gold
feature += Shining One {☉}

Well meme'd.

What font should I use? Most of these don't work in Courier New.

More unicode fun for horrors.

  Code:
mons := mon_glyph
# and horrors
mons += X : ᚸ
mons += tentacled monstrosity : ᛤ
mons += G : ಠ
mons += glowing orange brain : ದ
mons += u : ᛟ
'

No screenshot you'll have to try it yourself

Re: Unicode god altars in console

That's cool!

I'd swap out the Wu Jian glyph to something that doesn't reference a real-life religion, just because of the vague attempts to make that happen in general in DCSS.
