Glyphs that are commonly used in status lines of terminal applications (editors, shell prompts) to delineate sections and to indicate the status of various things (e.g., the current character encoding, line-endings, git status, git branch name, etc.).

These glyphs include a number geometric shapes and symbols. By using a font that supports them with the proper metrics, the status line looks sharp and flawless.
