Make space route icons selectable as rich text

[lialuca]

TL;DR

Please allow players to use the "space route" icons currently only visible in Factoriopedia as rich text.

What?

There's a set of icons already in the game that depict the different space routes that space platforms can take. As far as I can see, they're only used in Factoriopedia.

I have started setting up multiple platforms for each of the space routes and noticed I was not able to use these icons as rich text when naming them.

Why?

There are use cases for selecting these icons as rich text, particularly in the naming of space platforms dedicated to those routes. It would make for very clean ship names.

This would be pretty nice to have.

Just wanted to update to say that I've realised this is already possible using the rich text syntax outlined on this page of the wiki.

For convenience, copypasting any of the below into an in-game text input will replace it with the respective icon. I've tested it and been able to name ships using them, exactly as I wished to in this feature request.
