Hi,

I have been experimenting with some Unicode symbols as part of my TODO and
TAG definitions, to mixed results. I would like to propose that they are
given first class support, especially in tags and priorities.

Also, are other people using Unicode, and if so, how? especially with
visually consistent tables, does anyone have a a good mono-spaced to
recommend?

Here is some stuff to play with:

------------
#+PRIORITIES: ❢ ☯ ⧖
#+TAGS: emacs⚙ ⌚yakshaving
#+SEQ_TODO: ☐TODO  ❢☐ ☯☐ ⌚☐ ⚙☐ ✍☐ ⧖ | ✔☺ ✔ ✘ ☑  ☒ ☓ ☑DONE  ☒CANCELLED ☓

TODO fastkeys and similar seem to work

Tables:
| symbols    | Interpretation |   |   |   |
| ❢☐         |                |   |   |   |
| ❢TODO      |                |   |   |   |
| ⌚☐WAITING |                |   |   |   |
| ⧖WAITING          |                |   |   |   |
| ✔☺         |                |   |   |   |
| ✔DONE      |                |   |   |   |
| ✘          |                |   |   |   |
| ☑          |                |   |   |   |
| ☒          |                |   |   |   |
| ☓          |                |   |   |   |

For some characters you can handle it by using
[[http://orgmode.org/manual/Special-symbols.html][Special symbols]] in
the tables
for example this lines up correctly:

| hi | there | a | b | c |
|----+-------+---+---+---|
| \laquo{}  | \raquo{}     | \pi{} | \check{} |   |

[[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-symbols.html][Here]] are the symbols.

You can also list them by calling `org-entities-help'.

DejaVuSansMono.

With Symbola as a fallback:

(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" nil
                  (font-spec :size 20 :name "Symbola"))

I think Unicode in TODO keywords and priority cookies is already
possible.

The regexp for tags is

  ":[[:alnum:]_@#%:]+:"

What would you suggest instead?
