Usage

Refer to the Test project for full usage details. If Unicode is supported in your terminal, retrieving an icon via StatusIcon["name"] will return the Unicode icon, and if not, it will return the ASCII variant.

using StatusIcons;

// Display an icon
StatusIcon icon = new StatusIcon();
Console.WriteLine("Success: " + icon["Success"]);

// Test your terminal for Unicode support
icon.TestTerminal();

// Add and use an icon
icon["Speaker"] = "🔊";  // add to whichever dictionary is in use
icon.AsciiIcons["Speaker"] = ":(";  // add only to the ASCII icon dictionary
icon.UnicodeIcons["Speaker"] = "🔊";  // add only to the Unicode icon dictionary
Console.WriteLine("Icon 'Speaker' : " + icon["Speaker"]);
