Wash Care Symbols M54
The font Wash Care Symbols M54 has already implemented textile care symbols. However, they are encoded in the C0 Controls and Basic Latin block.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
I think I remember having seen a failed proposal to encode some of them , will need to check.
This could very well be it. I think I was subscribed to the mailing list back then.

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but aren't these symbols trademarked? Would font makers, or Unicode Inc. require a license to reproduce these symbols?
The five care symbols are protected trademarks in most countries. They may not be reproduced, issued or used without a special license agreement with GINETEX, co-owner of the trademarks together with COFREET. This Intellectual Property license agreement commits companies to use the symbols correctly at all times.

There is a lack of the unit in the name column : THIRTY DEGREES => THIRTY DEGREES CELSIUS
@PabloReszczynski Good point, but I am pretty sure that the glyphs do not have enough threshold of originality for a copyright. Regarding trademark right: GINETEX only has a trademark on the combination of the five care symbols in one picture and this also only applies for certain Nizza classes (e. g. leaflets about textile care, marketing and consulting services, but not for the textiles themselves).
For example, for Germany I found:
https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/register/3020090190313/DE (Nizza classes 35, 37, 41, 42, 45)
https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/register/3020180219248/DE (Nizza classes 9, 37, 40, 41, 45)
https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/registerIR?AKZ=849319 (covers all kinds of textile products, non-textile labels, information and consulting services and software, not protectable in Germany)
https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/registerIR?AKZ=849320 (covers all kinds of textile products, non-textile labels, information and consulting services and software, not protectable in Germany)
@8HoLoN The glyphs are also lacking a unit. Character descriptions should match the glyph appearance and not add additional semantics.
@spixi I strongly disagree, unit is crucial, the fact that the glyph does not contain the C is not relevant because some of glyph does not include ° character meanwhile the name includes Degrees. So, to get full meaning you should get the unit.
