We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.
…
⁂ is called an asterism. In astronomy, it refers to groups of stars in the sky, akin to constellations. We suggest that it’s a very fitting symbol for the fediverse, a galaxy of interconnected spaces which is decentralised and has an astronomically-themed name. It represents several stars coming together, connecting but each their own, without a centre.
…
@ is the symbol for e-mail. # is the symbol for hashtags. ☮ is the symbol for peace. ♻ is the symbol for recycling. ⁂ can be the symbol for the fediverse. ⁂ is standardised as Unicode U+2042, making it ready to copy and insert anywhere.

I’d rather see the current
logo added to Unicode than reuse an existing symbol. It’s not impossible, considering that the Bitcoin symbol (₿) ended up making it.
I don’t think it works well typographically but I’d like to see a mockup
I think it would work fine as an emoji though.
And an emoji for moths too
I’m still fighting for a poutine emoji 💪
🍟?
🍟+ 🧀 + no sauce 😭
🍟+ 🧀 + 🥃 maybe? I guess it’s supposed to be a whiskey tumbler, but it looks close enough in color…
I wish there was a simple glass full of water emoji. Also a hugging one with a concerned face.
Also a shovel. How can I visually indicate that I’m shoveling snow in winter smh
Then, also an emoji for showel+winter?
And one for showel+skull telling you are one of:
Not out yet https://emojipedia.org/shovel
but that’s a disgusting logo
I think it’s too complex to be a Unicode character
Looking at how current emojis tend to be hard to distinguish without increasing the font size (I see ~13 px on this page), I’d say the fediverse icon fits the criterion well enough.
Also,
I can see the icon in here well enough
Most Egyptian hieroglyphics are in unicode. However, there are many other reasons for it not to be included.
