I would like to specifically invite @hasecilu for some discussion, but I would be pleased by anyone leaving constructive comments here.
I'm always very reluctant to add anything to the custom set. Usually Nerd Fonts aggregates icon sets and is not an icon set of its own right. The custom set is for giving icons a chance that have no chance upstream but are deemed to be nerd-ish enough. Whatever that means. Popularity of course helps, but then, if it's popular there is no need to use the fallback solution of NF-custom-icons ;-) See the contradiction?
And then, in principle we could add all of these, but that might prompt more and more requests and the codepoints will be depleted quickly (in like 3 years or so?) If people see it is not likely to be added they might refrain from raising a glyph request 😬
From the above, I personally would probably add
- Vitruvian Man (because it is just an abstract and no project at all)
- The 12 progress indicators
- Chuck, because I like music 😆
For some, like Bun, I have no clue how people want to use it? In the title of a window? Not in a Powerline I assume.
This is no source of joy for me 😬

Hi, sorry for not answering before, just got time to go through this.
I agree with the fact that Nerd Fonts should be feeded with full sets rather than focusing on bringing individual glyphs. A lot of upstream projects have a specific topic/thematic that already fits with a lot of the requests here on NF but also some other projects that use icons (specially for decorating filetypes like web-devicons and many more).
In #615 is mentioned the option to update current devicon font with the new one from still mantained devicons/devicon
project
Set of icons representing programming languages, designing & development tools
their last release about 3 months ago https://github.com/devicons/devicon/releases/tag/v2.16.0 (322 New/Updated Icons). They have a very active issue tracker and also there are a lot of contributions there.
Doing a quick search on https://devicon.dev/ tell us that some of the requested icons are there:
- deno
- anaconda
- flutter
- pnpm
- neorg
- solidity
- bun
They claim to have 473 icons, quite a lot (we only have 198) but: the last used devicon icon is U+E7C5
and the next one is EA60
, meaning that there are 667 empty codepoints for the new 275 icons, is there plans for E8
and E9
codepoints? By how are located the projects I think it better to take advantage of the fact that devicon font have a lot of space to grow and try to move all DEV icons there and leave icons that are not very related on custom font.
From my perspective it seems that a lot of request are directly tied to people using terminal apps (most of time developers/sysadmins trying to make their environment pretty) so, a lot of DEV related icons could be expected to be requested. We can only make more accurate claims reading the feedback from users and cli app developers so we may need to wait for it.
Also, maybe creating a pull request template to encourage users trying to contribute icons here to look for an upstream project could help a little.
Extra: it seems the "name" of the glyph is not set correctly (as in lib files), can confirm?
