Arch Linux symbol in font.

Hi

I'm ricing my i3-gaps and currently focused on polybar. I need the need a symbol for avaliable updates and I wanted to use the arch logo, which requires me to find a font with that specific logo. Does anybody know where I can find it?

Thanks

There's an AUR package for it, but it's out of date.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Thanks! This is great Now, this may be kind of a silly question but how can I paste the icon into my script? So far I have been using fontawesome which has a great cheat sheet. In this case I'm not sure what to do.

Re: Arch Linux symbol in font.

Was just looking for a font with archlinux logo to do the exact same thing.   Apologies if this is considered a necro.

With font-linux, the unicode character for the arch logo is F100.   I found the code by using kcharselect and looking through the Other | Private Use Area section.

Add font\-linux to your polybar config as the first font, so that font-linux overrides that character for other fonts.
