Overline icon to complement Underline icon

Open Picorims opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

Icon name

Overline

Use cases

My software supports both underline and overline for text, but only the underline variant exists in Lucide. To compensate, I used ArrowUpToLine even though it is not the best representation. It is somewhat niche, but I would assume that it could be useful to all kind of tools providing rich text support (blogs, text editors, etc.).

I would be open to try designing it myself, I am somewhat familiar with Inkscape but not with icon design. Though I have a quite busy schedule so I may take time to respond and iterate.

Design ideas

I would suggest to have a design similar to underline, for instance an O with a bar above it, though it could probably be confused with other meanings (would it be bad?).

  • FontAwesome uses this approach: https://fontawesome.com/icons/overline?s=solid
  • Material Icons do the same: https://fonts.google.com/icons?selected=Material+Symbols+Outlined:format_overline:FILL@0;wght@400;GRAD@0;opsz@24&icon.query=overline&icon.size=24&icon.color=%23e8eaed
  • Looking online, some prefer the U with a bar above, though I would assume that it could be easy to confuse it with Underline for some people.
