Is there a \ding symbol for a house? I need it for my CV, but can't find it. Thanks
We can use direct \pdfliteral
. For example:
\def\house{\hbox{\kern3pt \vbox to13pt{}%
\pdfliteral{q 0 0 m 0 5 l 5 10 l 10 5 l 10 0 l 7 0 l 7 5 l 3 5 l 3 0 l f
1 j 1 J -2 5 m 5 12 l 12 5 l S Q }%
\kern 13pt}}
House: \house.
\end

6@wipet Could you please provide a source to learn more about those pdf literals? – Henri Menke Mar 24 '15 at 13:28

3@HenriMenke The main reference is PDF reference manual from Adobe, of course. But we need to know only very small subset of this knowledge in order to draw simple graphics. This was summarized in my article "Simple graphics in PDF by PDF primitives" petr.olsak.net/ftp/olsak/bulletin/pdfgrafika.pdf (but it is only in Czech language, sorry). – wipet Mar 24 '15 at 13:36

2@wipet Unfortunately I don't speak Czech. But thank you very much for this resource. Maybe Google Translate can help me. – Henri Menke Mar 24 '15 at 13:39

Hey, I'm trying to put those icons at LyX but it's give an error. Do you know why? how can I use those icons at LyX? Thank you! – heblyx Dec 18 '15 at 10:21

@Yoar What error? I can't guess. Are you compiling with Lua- or XeLaTeX? Please consider asking a new question if this is not treated any where on this site. – LaRiFaRi Dec 18 '15 at 12:51
Well, I guess I'll join the bandwagon too. This solution uses the fontawesome
package/symbol font.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\begin{document}
Test home symbol: \faHome
\end{document}

1@Dr.ManuelKuehner thanks, at the time the answer was written,
fontawesome
only supported OTF-capable engines. Since then, the situation has changed. I've updated the answer. – Paul Gessler Mar 3 '20 at 15:43
This is the closest I can think of.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[alpine]{ifsym}
\begin{document}
\Hut

The easiest thing to do is to google "house icon" images, which leads you to a page like http://fashionnow.website/house-icon-png/, download an image or two, and include them as graphics in your document.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
Here are some icons:
\includegraphics[width=1cm]{Home_Icon}
\includegraphics[width=1cm]{house_Icon}
\end{document}
Build your own house
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stmaryrd}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}
My home
\(\rlap{$\widehat{\,\ \ \ \ }$}{\,\tiny
\fboxsep0pt\fbox{$\bigsqcap^{_\boxplus^{}
\kern-1pt}$}\,}^{^{^{\!\!\!\!\!\wr}}}\)
\end{document}
fontawesome can be used in plain tex:
\font\aw=FontAwesome--fontawesometwo.tfm
Home symbol: \aw{\char153}
\bye

1Using plain tex this does indeed give a house icon so it does answer the question. The OP is probably after a LaTeX solution but at this we can only since no minimal working example was supplied. – user30471 Mar 1 '20 at 10:35
With stix
package there is a specific symbol called \house
. I added an MWE for this symbol.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{stix}
\begin{document}
$\house$
\end{document}
LuaLaTeX now supports emoji.
% !TeX program = lualatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{emoji}
\setemojifont{NotoEmoji-Regular.ttf}
\begin{document}
Our house~\emoji{house} in the middle of the street.
\end{document}
pifont
package (\ding{<num>}
), but other symbol fonts exist. – Paul Gessler Mar 24 '15 at 12:27\tikz \draw[thick,rounded corners=8pt] (0,0) -- (0,2) -- (1,3.25) -- (2,2) -- (2,0) -- (0,2) -- (2,2) -- (0,0) -- (2,0);
