: Web font that includes both alphanumeric characters and icons There are lots of icon fonts, like FontAwesome, ionicons and others. But is there any web font that includes both text and icons?
There are lots of icon fonts, like FontAwesome, ionicons and others. But is there any web font that includes both text and icons? If not, do you know why?
My motivation to ask this is to be able cover the needs of icons and alphanumeric characters of a website loading only one web-font.
EDIT: As suggested in a comment, I know services like icoMoon or Fontastic, where you can build your own icon collections. Actually two of icoMoon icon collections include alphanumeric icons. But this is not what I mean, since those alphanumeric icons are not supposed to be used to display the text of a website.
What I'd like to find is a text web font, for example Open Sans, that includes also an icon collection by typing some character combination.
With that web font I could type "car" to write this word, or also type something like  to display the icon of a car.

Plenty of fonts (web & digital) combine alpha-numeric sets with icons.
Here is a simple example: www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/asap-symbol
Please click on the "Glyphs" tab. You will see the full alpha-numeric set along with dozens of icons for use.
My recommendation, however, is to compile a custom font that contains the style of alpha-numeric glyphs that you're looking for (perhaps something like "Open Sans") and then add your icons into the other glyph locations. You could choose locations that would make sense for your personal project, for example, replacing the copyright glyph with a car as you suggested. Then you can simply type out
©
and you will see your car.
