In r-lib/clisymbols: Unicode Symbols at the R Prompt

knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  comment = "#>",
  tidy = FALSE,
  error = FALSE)

clisymbols

Unicode symbols with Windows fallbacks

Inspired by (and mostly copied from) the figures JavaScript project.

Install

Stable version:

install.packages("clisymbols")

Development version:

pak::pak("r-lib/clisymbols")

Usage

library(clisymbols)
cat(symbol$tick, "All good\n")
cat(symbol$cross, "Problem\n")

Here is a list of all symbols, with their names:

for (i in seq_along(symbol)) {
  cat(symbol[[i]], "\t", names(symbol)[i], "\n", sep = "")
}

Fallback symbols

Some terminals do not support (all) Unicode characters, and on these reasonable ASCII substitutes are used:

for (i in seq_along(clisymbols:::symbol_win)) {
  cat(format(clisymbols:::symbol_win[[i]], width = 4),
    names(clisymbols:::symbol_win)[i], "\n", sep = "")
}
