+OpenIcon
++ An icon set as a folder, and the first one that knows what to draw in a terminal: SVG in a browser, a + Nerd Font glyph in a patched terminal, a Unicode symbol in a plain one, ASCII over a serial line. +
++ Every interface needs the same few hundred icons, and every set names them differently: Lucide's mail + is Font Awesome's envelope is Material's email. Brand logos sit beside drawn icons as if a + trademark were just another shape. And no set says what an icon should be when there are no pixels, so + TUIs hard-code a Nerd Font codepoint and show a box everywhere else. +
++ Status: 0.1. A sibling of OpenEmoji. +
+The reference set
++ 370 icons: 259 drawn on a 24x24 grid with 2px strokes, 111 brand logos from Simple Icons and Font Awesome + Free. profullstack/openicon. +
+
+ Three glyphs per icon
+What a TUI draws, best first. Your browser probably has no Nerd Font, so that column shows the codepoint.
