Font coverage [edit]

Font sets like Code2000 and the DejaVu family include coverage for each of the glyphs in the Geometric Shapes range.^[4] Unifont too contains all the glyphs.^[5] Among the fonts in widespread apply,^[6] ^[7] total implementation is provided by Segoe UI Symbol and significant fractional implementation of this range is provided by Arial Unicode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode, which include coverage for 83% (80 out of 96) and 82% (79 out of 96) of the symbols, respectively.^[4]

Emoji [edit]

The Geometric Shapes block contains 8 emoji: U+25AA–U+25AB, U+25B6, U+25C0 and U+25FB–U+25FE.^[viii] ^[9]

The cake has sixteen standardized variants defined to specify emoji-style (U+FE0F VS16) or text presentation (U+FE0E VS15) for the eight emoji.^[10]
