I wanted to use this character with the sphere in the middle for a color picker, but then I noticed it had a pixel missing at the bottom:

This and a lot of other characters are useless, so I guess some of them could be modified to be made usable?

Actually, the pixel makes it look nicer

I kind of see that now too, but in other instances its probably not what you wanted when you looked at a character map.

"A pixel missing at the bottom"? I guess you're talking about the whole lower row being set to the background colour?

So what? If you don't want that character, don't use it. \8 isn't supposed to be an inversion of \7 - switch the background and foreground colours if you want that.

Wow, I didn't saw that one. Thanks!

Both characters represent bullets - the second is actually called an "inverted bullet".

Generally, you'd use both of them with a "coloured" foreground (as opposed to the coloured background you've got there). The reason the bullets aren't directly colour-inverted is so that you can avoid the problem you're complaining about, while at the same time avoiding symmetry issues.

But I still think that the pallet looks very nice, you should keep using that one character

When I first looked at the OP's screenshot I thought he was talking about a pixel underneath the coloured background. But never mind. My mind immediately thought that the coloured line at the bottom was intentional - I like it.

It's still a shame you can't handle hover events though. Would make some nice animations..
