Unambiguous Passwords

[Jens Tröger]

Hello,

I would think not, because those symbols themselves are part of the
generated random sequence and because they’re not ambiguous themselves.

Displaying these symbols in a font whose glyphs are ambiguous is a 
different issue and text (e.g. generated passwords) should not adjust 
to the shortcomings of fonts.

See also the Jetbrains’ Mono font:

and the section on “Distinctiveness of symbols”

Cheers,
Jens
