Changes
'''UBIK-Standard.ttf''' is a custom set of font icons developed primarily for use on the Xamarin Mobile 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 and clients as UBIK-Standard.ttf becomes more widely adopted.

==Usage==
UBIK-Standard.ttf is currently only supported for the Xamarin Mobile client.
===Xamarin Mobile Client===
The first full version of the icon set was completed in September 2019. The tables on this page show the icons, along with a description of their intended purpose (some have multiple), and the natural language In-App Name, and Hex code suffix, both of which can be used to call the icons using XAML.
== Known Issues ==
===Xamarin Mobile Client===The development of the custom icon font on the Xamarin Mobile client was hampered significantly by unexpected icon substitutions, which appeared to be vendor/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 for icons when the user switched tabs, leaving UBIK running in the background. In these cases, circular icon containers became square when switching back to the app, and the icon glyphs were no longer visible. However, using the <i>GlyphButton</i> and <i>GlyphLabel</i> elements (as opposed to simply <i>Button</i> and <i>Label</i>) seems to prevent this issue.
