What it is

Figures provides a set of Unicode symbols that work across different operating systems and terminals, including Windows CMD. It ensures consistent and visually appealing terminal outputs by providing fallback characters where necessary.

Figures stands out by providing simple, reliable Unicode symbol support with built-in fallbacks for Windows CMD, ensuring consistent output across different environments.

When it fits — and when it doesn’t

A good fit for

  • Developers building CLIs who need consistent symbol support across different operating systems

  • Projects requiring visually appealing terminal output with fallbacks for Windows CMD

Look elsewhere if

  • Applications that do not require visual elements in the terminal

  • Scenarios where a more complex library is needed for advanced terminal manipulation

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

  1. 01

    Small community and limited contributions

    Low number of contributors and infrequent updates on the GitHub repository.

  2. 02

    Poor documentation for advanced use cases

    Documentation lacks detailed examples and explanations for complex configurations or customizations.

What it does well

  • Unicode symbols with fallbacks for Windows CMD

  • Ensures consistent terminal output across different systems

  • Lightweight and easy to integrate
