The commit graph used '⏣' (U+23E3 BENZENE RING WITH CIRCLE) for merge commits and '◯' (U+25EF LARGE CIRCLE) for regular commits. Both have very poor coverage in popular monospace fonts: - '⏣' lives in the Misc Technical block and is essentially absent from every common monospace font (Source Code Pro, JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, Cascadia Code, Hack, Iosevka, Menlo, Consolas, Monaco, IBM Plex Mono, Ubuntu Mono, Noto Sans Mono, Inconsolata). It is always drawn from a system fallback font. - '◯' is the late-addition LARGE CIRCLE codepoint. It is present in some fonts (Cascadia, Fira Code, Hack, Iosevka, Menlo, Noto Sans Mono) but missing from many others, including Source Code Pro and most Nerd Font derivatives based on it. This is why the graph renders inconsistently across platforms even when the same monospace font is configured: each OS picks a different fallback font (Apple Symbols on macOS, Segoe UI Symbol on Windows, Noto/DejaVu/Symbola on Linux), and the substituted glyphs differ in shape, weight, and advance width. '◯' is also East Asian Ambiguous width, so some terminals render it wider than one cell, exaggerating the misalignment. Replace the symbols with codepoints from the foundational 1991 Geometric Shapes block, which has far broader font coverage: - Merge: '◎' U+25CE BULLSEYE -- concentric circles, the visually closest cousin to the previous benzene-ring glyph. - Commit: '○' U+25CB WHITE CIRCLE -- the same hollow-circle silhouette as before, just a more universally available codepoint. The new symbols are present in the font directly in significantly more cases; and when fallback is still required, they are universally well-drawn (unlike '⏣', which many fallback fonts also lack).
