Icon especially would be very much appreciated

i think that's not as easy as it sounds, as it would need to get the font from somewhere, distinguish between a character and an value for the bar, but oh boy, that would be exactly what i am searching for.

Text support could cover both scenarios; fonts like Nerd Fonts have enough icons that they'd cover most cases. This is what waybar does: supports fonts-only, but Nerd Fonts can be used to render all sorts of icons.

Still doens't sound easy tho.
