import figures, {replaceSymbols, mainSymbols, fallbackSymbols} from 'figures';

console.log(figures.tick);
// On terminals with Unicode symbols:  ✔︎
// On other terminals:                 √

console.log(mainSymbols.tick);
// On all terminals:  ✔︎

console.log(fallbackSymbols.tick);
// On all terminals:  √

console.log(replaceSymbols('✔︎ check'));
// On terminals with Unicode symbols:  ✔︎ check
