Item glyph consistency
% is for food
\ is for rods
) is for weapons
[ is for armor
} is for evokables
" is for amulets
= is for rings
| is for magical staves
/ is for wands
! is for potions
? is for scrolls
and : is for books.
Why are then bookstores denoted with + in the ctrl+o screen?
I gather + is a common glyph for books in roguelikes, and maybe it was at some point in Crawl history but, shouldn't the game stick to a particular glyph? : here and + there is not how it's supposed to be.
Please excuse me if I'm missing or overlooking something (and explain it)
