I'm curious: is there a reason U+2584 LOWER HALF BLOCK is missing from the character set, which otherwise contains the progression from U+2581 to U+2587? Edit:

Edit: U+2588 seems like an obvious candidate as well.
- tome 15y agoNo idea. Here they are for everyone's use: ticks = " ▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█" I've included SPACE as well. That's an obvious missing one.
- bodyfour 15y agoAt least in my OS/X terminal using the "Monaco" font (which I think is the default), the final one (U+2588) doesn't descend as far as the rest of the characters. It really produces some ugly output with that one included. Including the space character means that you lose a nice baseline if the input is fairly sparse, so it looks less like a bar graph and more like just some random blobs.
- carterschonwald 15y agoYes, on the mac it seems only menlo renders it correctly, (vs all the other fixed with font families that bork the rendering in various ways)
