Well the one that did that was German and I looked at it and I am also German and I thought that would be a common symbol for average but as it seems I guess we have to change it and just write avg. or average. Your comments on the github issue are appreciated. https://github.com/FAForever/downlords- ... ssues/1599

Guess I don't see why it needs to be a single character, avg is well-known and fits in the space just fine.

μ like FTX already mentioned or even better in my opinion is x̄.

However both aren't commonly used and I agree a lot of people aren't going to know either. I think "avg" is probably the best we can do

μ I'm guessing?

Still probably unclear to a large amount of people, though.

I know it from engineering as the symbol for diameter.

I agree it should be changed.

I would definitely say it's not a very common symbol to know the meaning of. I've never seen it used outside of FAF.

Encoding:

normal character used in the Danish, Norwegian, Faroese, and Southern Sami languages:

U+00D8 Ø (HTML Ø · Ø)
U+00F8 ø (HTML ø · ø)

Not to be confused with the mathematical signs:

U+2205 ∅ (HTML ∅ · ∅)
U+2300 ⌀ (HTML ⌀)

Change "Ø Rating" in Downlord's client

2020-02-19T21:54:58+02:00

In Downlord's client, the average rating column is labeled as "Ø Rating". I had no idea whether that meant max, min, or avg, and after a good few minutes of googling I stumbled on the following in a Wikipedia article on the symbol:

"In German-speaking countries, Ø is also used as a symbol for average value"

I can easily see how such a mistake was made, and it's not really a big deal, but in non-German localizations that symbol should be replaced by "avg" or equivalent.
