Talk:Sparkline in unicode

Bar choices

Hi Tim. There is a problem with your choices of bars in that they have a ragged bottom line:

▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█

There is a problem with my choice of bars in that the highest bar is not full width:

▁▂▃▅▆▇▉▇▆▅▃▂▁

I find the ragged baseline to be much more irritating. How to resolve? --Paddy3118 (talk) 03:18, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Oh, my font is Courier. --Paddy3118 (talk) 03:42, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

I now find that there is raggedness in the baseline of my bar choice if I swap to Consolas font. I think I'll revert to using Tims seven bars and search for a font as the Unicode page has nothing to say on this, just:
