UBIK-Standard.ttf is a custom set of font icons developed primarily for use on the Xamarin Client, due to concerns over the legality of using Microsoft's Segoe MDL2 Assets icon font file on non-Windows platforms (ie. Android and iOS). Apart from this legal concern, having a standardized font icon set will contribute to having a more consistent look across the various platforms, clients, once UBIK-Standard.ttf becomes more widely used in both standard builds, and individual customizings.

The latest font set can be downloaded directly from the UBIK-Standard.zip file.

Known Issues

The development of the custom icon font on the Xamarin client was hampered significantly by unexpected icon substitutions, which appeared to be vender/device-specific. To avoid this issue, the individual icons in the text file were mapped to the Hex codes used by the most basic alphabet and symbol characters.

A second issue was encountered where using unstable behavior was observed when using UBIK-Standard.ttf in FontIcons, and while using the "Label=" attribute. -Ask Liang-

Original Set

The first full version of the icon set was completed in September 2019. The following table shows the icons, along with a description of their intended purpose (some have multiple), and the natural language In-App Name, and Hex code, both of which can be used to call the icons using XAML.
