Symbology

Another thing I've been thinking about is whether or not Solresol
should have a flag or some other sign of some sort? What are some
possibilities for representing Solresol? Besides 525 :)

[Garrison Osteen]

Well, the easy answer would be colors - Blue Orange Blue in either vertical or horizontal stripes... Perhaps overlayed with either the shorthand symbol for Solresol (horizontal-vertical-horizontal) on top of it, or another word that epitomizes the idea of Solresol besides "Solresol" so as to avoid redundancy. That's just my thought.

Oh, also - speaking of colors... The idea of asigning the colors of the rainbow to the syllables is great, but it seems to me that "indigo" and "violet" aren't the best ideas. I don't think most people even know what the difference really is, and computer screens can't technically display true "violet". On Wikipedia the blue is split into a light blue and a dark blue, which is an easy distinction to make (many languages actually have a different word for each of them, considering them separate colors). What does everyone think about this?

Have you guys seen this:

? :D

Yeah, and I like how in that thread they use an adapted Arabic writing
system for Solresol.

Garrison, about the colors, I don't think it's such a big deal. I see
Solresol as a really flexible language. It's the language of
seven...so sometimes the color scheme using indigo and purple/violet
could be used (and this could even be the "official" color pattern),
and sometimes the one with light and dark blue. Heck, someone could
even create a version using black and/or white. What I want to know
is, since I really like the idea of expressing Solresol with colors,
is there a way to write here using different colored boxes, so that
just colors appear without text? That'd be cool 8)

[Garrison]

That makes sense - within a couple words it would be clear which system is being used. And then yes, I think that Indigo and Violet should be the "official" one, since historically that's how it was defined (And part of what I love about Solresol is the history of it - it feels like opening up a time capsule or something :D ). 

As far as color typing goes - a suppose one could use large asterisks or pound signs or something, but I'll be looking out for a box-typing method :)

### etc. Though actually that looks quite sloppy.

(Oh, and thanks for posting that, Simio :) I like seeing that some other people are using Solresol out there)

Also, as for colored boxes:

◼◼◼   ◼◼◼  ◼◼◼◼!

Hopefully that's formatted fine, and you can see it. 

As far as I can tell, the symbol's information is:

Unicode: 25FC

UTF8: E2 97 BC

I'm not sure if that helps you find it; you can always just copy these ones. ▉

There are also some more that I just found:
