Anyone using symbols to mark move typing?
Like these: ↆ (Ground), ☬ (Dragon), ❆ (Ice), ⵢ (Thunder), etc
Still missing symbols for Fire, Flying, Poison and Steel. I had symbols for them before, but my device wasn't able to display them anymore in PoGo at some point, so I could use a replacement and don't want to scroll through thousands of special characters again until I find something, that pleases me
Edit: I'd like to have those symbols mainly for cosmetical reasons

I do use some symbols, this ⁂ for poison and this ¥ for steel, because it's easily available on my keyboard. Maybe they don't make much sense, but I'm used to them.
I also have one for fire, which I grabbed from the standards of the app Calcy IV, but I couldn't copy it here, it only appeared as ":hotsprings:". It appears if I try to write this on WhatsApp Web or Telegram Web.
I'm still looking for a symbol for flying, though.
You could use: fire - 火, water - 水, ice - 冰, normal - 普, ground - 土, rock - 石, flying - 飞, dragon - 龙, electric - 电, steel - 铁, fighting - 斗, poison - 毒, fairy - 灵, ghost - 魂, grass - 草, bug - 虫, dark - 黑, psychic - 心
There is a character limit on pokemons' names, but the count is for uni-code characters. Chinese characters are a bit more compact way of expressing meaning, than Latin characters.
Nope i dont use symbols. I have all my pokemons cp And moveset memorized. I use these pokemons almost everyday it's hard not to know the exact iv stat, moveset, cp, position of Pokemon order when scrolling from cp and stuff. I even have hp memorized for most of my pokemons too. If I have same Pokemon with 100iv I still know. I'm pretty sure I got at least my top 24 or 36 Pokemon from highest cp memorized in order, cp, moveset, where I caught it or if I hatched it, and exact iv of that Pokemon from memory.
No. I give all my Pokemon unique names and I know exactly what they're packing because I know each and every one of them like a real trainer should.
Post-evolve IV information is useless because if I decided to evolve and power them up, then those criteria have already been vetted and deemed acceptable.
Nope, I just abbreviate the name of the move. For example: WF/HP is a Waterfall/Hydro Pump Gyarados. Symbols tend to take longer for me to interpret, and they don't help me if a Pokemon has multiple moves of the same type.
That being said, I know several people in our local raid Discord who use symbols for move typing.
I've found the symbols that work depend on how the operating system youre using handles the symbols. On Android 7 I am using:
Normal ⵙ
Grass ⸙
Water ꧞
Fire ♨
Ice ❄️
Electric ϟ
Psychic ໑
Ghost ᗣ
Flying ༄
Fighting ꢳ
Rock ☖
Ground ᨏ
Bug ꣔
Poison ⚠
Dragon 中
Dark ◐
Steel ۞
Fairy ♡
PS. If you want to add symbols I suggest adding them as shortcuts to your keyboard so you easily type them in when renaming mons.
Eg. dk = ◐
These are the ones I'm using (or used to):
Ground ↆ
Dragon ☬
Ice ❆
Thunder ⵢ
Fairy ♡
Fire ☄ (not working anymore..)
Flying ✈ (not working anymore..)
Ghost ተ
Poison ☣ (not working anymore..)
Bug ༒
Fighting ጿ
Normal ꕢ
Grass ⸙
Psychic ☯
Steel ⚒ (not working anymore..)
Rock ⌂
Dark ☆
Water ≈
I like your symbol for flying, thanks!
