@ro0NL did you test it on mac ? doesn't seem to work on mine neither

It displays as a square (Mac OS X).

Sorry.. linux-developer here :) Anyway i just got aware of #11326 also.. which seems competing and is a different approach overall.

In general something like Console\Figure::render('⏵', '>'); would be nice.

Status: needs work

@ro0NL this one should work on macOS: https://www.utf8icons.com/character/9656/black-right-pointing-small-triangle

Ok. lets see, if we can ship this little enhancement before #11326 that's nice i guess.

New icon works for me :)

Works on windows as well. But wouldn't it be better to use the one from #11326? Or is this one going to replace the one there?

I'd say the new small triangle looks worse than the existing > char 😢

I find it a bit too much subtil. Output on OS X (iTerm with 12pt Monaco font):

original:

new (https://www.utf8icons.com/character/9656/black-right-pointing-small-triangle):

What about using the same as in #11326, i.e https://www.utf8icons.com/character/10095/heavy-right-pointing-angle-quotation-mark-ornament:

?

But anyway it may depends too much on the font used. We won't find a perfect fit.

Last triangle on my side:

Proposed chevron on my side:

Hence i chose a smaller triangle ;-) but im willing to settle, no problem. In PHPStorm it looks better.

I like ❯ most, even on your screenshot. But it does not work on windows. We could really use Figure helper

lets keep it as is, > is really fine, and prevents from adding code for dealing with non-UTF-8 consoles.

I think @nicolas-grekas is right. After all, that's not like it's much better and could introduce some bugs on some platforms. For that reason, I'm going to revert #26698, so that we get more time to evaluate the impacts and have only one PR that does all the changes.

Fair. I see the hassle it brings..

What amazes me is this concept of "partial UTF" support accros platforms, totally defeating UTF :D
