Can you tell what these sparklines have to do with unicode? Btw. I would like to attend this unicode workshop :) Norbert Am 26.02.2014 um 21:40 schrieb Alexandre Bergel <alexandre.bergel@me.com>:

Though, imho, the information density is so low, itâs a bit of a stretch calling them spark lines. Cheers, Henry

The character â is obtained with: 9605 asCharacter $â I suspect this is a unicode character Cheers, Alexandre

That is where you are wrong, they are really useful as a simple, inline way to visualise some data. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkline There are whole UI/UX books written about this.
Iâm sure itâs a nice to have
thanks for sharing Alex!
My question is, Alex, do the Unicode characters that you use occur in all fonts ?

Hey Sven, are you sure is a logic problem ("being wrongâ) and not a perception problem (âseeing applicability nowâ) that you fixed with your reference? ;)

Yeah, right/wrong is not the issue. I am just trying to convince you to take a second look ;-) Here are two more references: http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09/06/0608_tufte/11.htm http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0001OR&topic_id=1... It _is_ really cool. Sven

Apparently no. It works in the Source Code Pro true type font. Iâve tried with other font, but without success. Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

Alex check a bit the seaside book because I wrote what I learn about unicode there. Now there is no magic. Spending some time for real improving the system is the only way. So this is what Iâm doing and I learn slowly but steadily. Stef
