We now try to use the triangle (▸)¹ in user-facing strings as part of an effort to improve microtypography in the user interface. See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Guidelines/UIWriting#Typography The results of the command search should thus display like this…: Edit ▸ Find and Replace … instead of the current: Edit / Find and Replace ⸻ [1]: Or “◂” in RTL environments. This Unicode character has directionality, so in theory it should flip automatically according to the language’s writing direction.
Are you sure this character is defined in all fonts?
It exists in DejaVu (which we ship and can fallback on), as well as in SF Pro (macOS), Source, and other Windows system fonts (although not yet in Segoe UI Variable from Windows Dev build 21376… but Windows displays OK, ATM; I’ve tested LO in my Insider install).
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #1) > Are you sure this character is defined in all fonts? FWIW, we are already using this character extensively in tip-of-the-day dialog.
Patch: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/157689 Had to take directionality into account conditionally by looking at config, it was not automatic.
