1/14/2024 0 Comments Triangle reflection on y axis![]() ![]() Or other directions, sometimes get added as afterthought or extensions. Typically, the rightward versions have correctly designedįonts, because it is far more popularly used. It depends on your operating system, web browser, your browser and OS configuration, and availability of font on your system. How the chars shows up on your screen may be very different from another person. Unicode arrows inconsistent font problem, rendered on ![]() Note that some left/right pairs looks very different, even in the same font.įor example, here's how they render in your browser: Character (For example, there is no char named “TOP ARC CLOCKWISE ARROW”) But given these chars, how do you order them? Font Problems Which single transformation could move the triangle from its starting position to its final position a reflection across the x-axis a rotation of 90 about. First of all, note that not all of them is present. 8 arcs, 2 directions, there are a combination of 16 possibilities. Each arc can be clockwise or anti-clockwise. There are 2 of them, and 4 of the diagonal arcs. The names are inconsistent.įinally, in Unicode 7, a new one with consistent name is added. When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is taken to be the additive inverse. You can see that, this right pointing arrow was there first. However, there was no “RIGHTWARDS BLACK ARROW” for about 10 years. For similar reasons, other symmetric versions of the same style such as upward and or downward versions are scattered in wildly different blocks.įor example, here's some arrows and their names: Codepoint Thus you have “Supplemental Arrows-A” and “Supplemental Arrows-B”. So, the left pointing ones get added, in the same block but different neighborhood, or in another block. But later, it's realized the left pointing ones are important too, for one reason or another, and sometimes there's a need just for completeness because Unicode became more wide spread. In the beginning of Unicode history, there's just a right pointing arrow of a particular style, because left pointing ones are seldomly or never used. ![]() The most common ones are collected in “Symbols, Arrows (2190–21FF)”. They are scattered in different code blocks. Also, there are a lot symmetry issues, and some mirror image isn't there. They are scattered in different places, and are hard to find. It took me several days to collect and organize these arrows. These are from several different sections of Unicode, including: Triangle P P is the object and Triangle Q Q is the image. Triangle P P has been reflected in the line x4 x 4 to give Triangle Q Q. Here is a screenshot showing what they look like in my browser. Reflection is a type of transformation that flips a shape in a mirror line (also called a line of reflection) so that each point is the same distance from the mirror line as its reflected point.
