[![](screenshot.png)](index.js)

[*and more...*](index.js)

Terminals such as Windows Console Host (and CMD) only support a [limited character set](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437).

## Install

```sh
npm install @so1ve/figures
```

## Usage

```js
import { fallbackSymbols, figures, mainSymbols, replaceSymbols } from "@so1ve/figures";

console.log(figures.tick);
// On terminals with Unicode symbols:  ✔︎
// On other terminals:                 √

console.log(figures.mainSymbols.tick);
// On all terminals:  ✔︎

console.log(figures.fallbackSymbols.tick);
// On all terminals:  √

console.log(figures.replaceSymbols("✔︎ check"));
// On terminals with Unicode symbols:  ✔︎ check
// On other terminals:                 √ check
```

## API
