Icon name
alphabet-ethiopic (suggested tags: ethiopic, geez, ge'ez, fidel, amharic, tigrinya, script, writing system)
Use cases
- Font library app for type designers: each font style has a "Writing systems" panel listing the scripts the font supports, one row per script with an icon, the script name, the glyph coverage percentage and the number of supported languages. Fonts covering Ethiopic (Amharic, Tigrinya, Ge'ez) have to fall back to the generic
languageicon. - Filtering languages by writing system: a dropdown filters the supported languages of a font by script, with the script icon next to each option.
- Locale switchers and i18n settings: marking the Amharic or Tigrinya locale in a language picker, and tagging font families by supported script in type foundry catalogs.
Design ideas
A single character, consistent with alphabet-hebrew, alphabet-thai and alphabet-korean.
Suggested character: ሀ (hä, the first character of the traditional "hahu" order). Its shape (an open arch with two short feet) is simple and reads well at 24px with a 2px stroke.
Alternative: አ (ä, the first character of the "abugida" order).
