@Felthry

There's not a lot of font support for them yet, but Unicode's got all ten digits in 7-segment form as U+1FBFx (for x in the 0-9 range).

@dodec ooh, handy. I hope those get more support.

Wonder if they'll add 14- and 16-segment versions too.

@dodec Hmm, now i'm thinking about 16-segment displays and wondering how similar technology might be adapted to displaying cyrillic or greek or arabic or kana

chinese is obviously out of the question but i feel like alphabets, abjads, abugidas, and syllabaries should be possible to do
