This is a bug in DJI's font. I don't think we should change this.
In theory they are working with the BF team and may fix this.
I don't think we should deviate.

I have tested and they are working on my goggles. If DJI changes it, we change it as well, I don't see a problem here.

These symbols don't exist in betaflight, so we should not add them here.
This file is based on betaflight/src/main/drivers/osd_symbols.h
Also, refer to https://betaflight.com/docs/development/osd

Why not? These symbols work just fine for me, so what's the point of trying to exactly mirror Betaflight's behavior, can't we improve on it?

Is there some discussion ongoing. I have some topics which have questionmark which is not realy nice: Would be realy nice if there comes a solution. From my point of view it´s better to have a Letter there then to have a ?. Maybe the User can replace the ? byitself in any way that would also be a good solution. The current solution with the ? is in my point of view the badest one ;-). |
Only DJI can provide a proper fix. They need to support fonts for other flight controllers. Betaflight does not have a symbol for what is show as a question mark. |

IMHO, we have messed about with the OSD code enough already for DJI. There is a lot of mess in there now because DJI doesn’t want to implement MSP DisplayPort properly and fully. |
Improve the character and icon mappings for BF compatible OSD modes, both BF43COMPAT and the upcoming BFHDCOMPAT mode.
This should reduce the number of "?" characters, by using more of the available icons provided by DJI or direct letter abbreviations.
