Weather Symbols
Sun, cloud, rain and seasonal marks.
Where these characters come from
Weather marks come partly from Miscellaneous Symbols, where the sun, cloud and umbrella have existed for decades, and partly from the later emoji additions that supply the coloured forecast icons.
How reliably they render
The older monochrome symbols are dependable. The emoji weather icons are drawn per-platform and vary considerably in appearance between Android, iOS and desktop.
Questions
Why do weather symbols look different on each device?
The coloured ones are emoji, and every platform draws its own artwork. The older monochrome symbols from Miscellaneous Symbols are consistent because they are ordinary glyphs rather than emoji.
Which are best for a forecast in plain text?
The monochrome sun, cloud and umbrella are the most predictable, since they render consistently and inherit your text colour rather than arriving in someone else's illustration style.
