Is there consensus or best practice on how to best access special characters (like arrows or numbers in circles) in a font?
I couldn’t find anything so I implemented something my own way with contextual alternates:
Numbers in circles can be created with Contextual Alternates enabled and typing a combination of
w or b (white or black)
# (number sign)

Arrows can be created with Contextual Alternates enabled and typing a combination of
> (greater than)
with
r, l, u, d
(right, left, up, down)

Everything works fine this way but maybe there are drawbacks that I didn’t foresee?
