This would be one way to get the LAN/4JR symbol you want. *Source: [TheNextWeb](http://thenextweb.com/dd/2012/10/12/7-gorgeous-icon-fonts-to-speed-up-your-site-and-your-design-process/)*Wed, 08 Jul 2015 06:06:49 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6161/meta-what-are-some-nice-usable-symbolic-fonts-for-the-i3status/?answer=6258#post-id-6258https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6161/meta-what-are-some-nice-usable-symbolic-fonts-for-the-i3status/?answer=6164#post-id-6164Here's a quite extensive source for UTF-8 codes: http://www.utf8icons.com/ Also I can recommend **ttf-font-icons**, available from the AUR for example.Sun, 21 Jun 2015 12:25:51 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6161/meta-what-are-some-nice-usable-symbolic-fonts-for-the-i3status/?answer=6164#post-id-6164https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6161/meta-what-are-some-nice-usable-symbolic-fonts-for-the-i3status/?answer=6163#post-id-6163Font Awesome is fairly popular.Sun, 21 Jun 2015 12:16:16 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6161/meta-what-are-some-nice-usable-symbolic-fonts-for-the-i3status/?answer=6163#post-id-6163https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6161/meta-what-are-some-nice-usable-symbolic-fonts-for-the-i3status/?comment=6166#comment-6166Font awesome is exactly what I am looking for.. to be honest there's just one little thing I miss there and that's a LAN/RJ-45 symbol..Sun, 21 Jun 2015 13:36:35 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6161/meta-what-are-some-nice-usable-symbolic-fonts-for-the-i3status/?comment=6166#comment-6166
