"""
    To get a good display of the unicode characters visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters
    You can directly copy and paste characters from the site into your strings.
    Unicode characters make it possible to add simple graphics to your windows by using text.  No Base64 required. They're plain chars.
    They're good for a quick status display / dashboard, for use on buttons (arrows), or as "simple clipart" to name a few uses
