Add Support for U+20C0 (SOM SIGN)
Closed this issue ยท 9 comments
Would like to request the addition of U+20C0 (SOM SIGN) to the Inter font. This character is important for certain applications that require the representation of the SOM SIGN symbol (Kyrgyzstan country currency). Adding this character would enhance the usability of the Inter font across different contexts where this symbol is used.
Detailed information about unicode char here: https://www.unicodecharacter.org/U+20C0 and here: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2020/20261-kyrgyz-som.pdf
Why this is important:
Currently, the Inter font does not support U+20C0, which makes it difficult for users who need to display this symbol in their projects. Incorporating it into the font will improve its versatility and ensure better support for a wider range of use cases.
Proposed solution:
Please, consider adding U+20C0 (SOM SIGN) to the font's character set in an upcoming release.
Additional context
The addition of this symbol would make Inter more suitable for applications and regions that require this character for proper display and usage.

This could be designed as ั with underline, and itโs easy to do by combining glyph references from existed characters.

It's not actually just underline, here is the proposal document with more details https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2020/20261-kyrgyz-som.pdf. But I'm also think that it's could be easy.
This is really helpful. Nice
WIP
I don't think this is the way you should draw som for inter. it simply doesn't match to the style of the typeface. take the existing lowercase "c" for the symbol and move it to the cap height
like this:
@ravid-dubsteper yap, "c" is in fact a letter here, as its described in "... โCโ of the Cyrillic alphabet with underlining ...". But its definitely should not sticking to cap height, the proposal from National Bank of Kyrgyz Republic is clearly illustrate it.
Another problem is that in proposal "c" mentions as "... Som sign is based on a capital letter ...", so there is a mismatch of text description and illustration, in graphics its low case; in text its up case.
Yup. The spec is very clear on the design. Case closed
