Four new unicodes related to Roblox in utf8.char library

Feature Requests Engine Features
#1

This is slim version of my previous feature request asking for several new unicodes:

Over 1 year ago since writing the feature request, I find myself always needing in my text labels:

  • Roblox Icon
  • Roblox Studio Icon
  • Roblox Star Creator Icon
  • Roblox Game Owner/Developer Icon

If Roblox could add it, as examples:

  • Roblox Icon: utf8.char(0xE003)
  • Roblox Studio Icon: utf8.char(0xE004)
  • Star Creator: utf8.char(0xE005)
  • Roblox Game Owner/Developer: utf8.char(0xE006)

This would allow me to not re-upload icons to my own account, saving Roblox storage and allowing me at runtime to add with text-labels, saving me another class add of an imagelabel for clients to render next to the text label.

It’d greatly improve my plugin development by denoting the Roblox features, using either the Roblox Studio Icon, or the regular Roblox Icon.

This would be amazing to have added for us, fingers crossed we’re blessed with this.

I think this might be a little too much to ask for, but I want U+E007 for the friend icon.

Want to +1 this feature - I always end up searching long and hard for the star creator icon specifically:

Given the frequent use case of these icons, developers should have an easy way to get these icons and implement into their games without requiring the use of hacky file tricks.

This would be a minor yet meaningful addition to the platform. Great suggestion! Please make it happen.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve run into the same issue and just had to rip SVG’s from the site, rasterize, then upload myself. This would be have saved me an hour or two of work over the past few years.
