Mahjong Colored 🀄

Colored OpenType-SVG Mahjong font based on FluffyStuff/riichi-mahjong-tiles.

Usage

Download OTF

Glyphs: U+1F000 → U+1F021 and U+1F02C → U+1F02E. The last three are akadora, undefined in Unicode (sue me). Flowers, seasons, etc. are not supported, but feel free to PR.

U+1F004 is also an emoji. You can specify the text version with U+FE0F VS16 or the emoji with U+FE0E VS15.

See: colorfonts.wtf.

Alternative

This font is good for typical Riichi Mahjong. Monotype/Microsoft's Segoe UI Emoji font is better for some other variants; it includes colored glyphs U+1F000 → U+1F02B, but lacks akadora tiles. Plus, it ships with Windows.

I'm not aware of any other fonts with colored Mahjong tiles.
