    You don’t need a petition. You can just submit a proposal to Unicode.

    I did it for https://unicodepowersymbol.com/

    Seriously, these petition sites are just data harvesters.

      Thanks for sharing this! Very cool to see the work that goes into a proposal, especially knowing that it has paid off.

      From my uninformed perspective, this seems like an easy approval (no doubt due to your convincing proposal), but I’m curious if you were confident it would be accepted when you proposed it? I have no idea how stringent the acceptance process might be.

        You can read all the accepted and rejected proposals on the Unicode website.

        Is it often used in “running text”? If you can show evidence of that, it will likely succeed. Popularity counts for nothing. Don’t bother with a low effort petition- put the effort into writing a proper proposal.
