When Fonts Fall
&gt; But the internet leaves no room for someone with a pencil.<p>I&#x27;ve never personally seen it done, but couldn&#x27;t you do this with the Unicode Private-Use Area? Assuming you have your own blog where you control the CSS, you could sprinkle in a few private-use codepoints, and then add a custom web font to the CSS font fallback that defines glyphs for those same codepoints.<p>(I know putting a document with Private-Use codepoints up on the public web would go against the philosophy of Unicode; and that the <i>correct</i> thing to do here would be to email the Unicode Consortium about the need for your character. [They&#x27;ll probably agree!] But, ignoring the philosophy, in practice this would still <i>work</i>. And at least you&#x27;re not directly confusing machines that try to extract semantics from the text, the way e.g. Wingdings fonts do.)
