    What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?
    The enhancement is to allow any standard unicode character to be used in the HP bar.

    Please provide any additional information below.
    Just like the heavy heart character has a translation from <3 to the proper unicode symbol during run-time, I propose a feature that allows someone to input their own unicode character id into the yaml configuration, coupled along with a preset symbol for the translation process (either pre-made by you or even customizable by the plugin user).

    Example:
    You either predetermined that [?] will be the symbol, or I personally put "[?]" and "26A1" into a YAML file
    The plugin will read all [?] and replace with unicode#26A1 aka ⚡

    If possible it would be great to enable infinite custom symbol creation with the use of an additional yaml file that can be iterated through to EOF. Otherwise, just 2 pre-made customizable symbols (like [1] and [2]) would be sufficient to enable all kinds of new ways to use this plugin.

    Some symbols have filled and unfilled versions, and that would add a whole new level of Health Bar customization. The way you wrote your code so far, it's almost begging for this feature to be added, but I much rather this be an official supported feature.

    Thanks for your consideration.

    haha...sorry, the heart symbol was suppose to look like <3.

    It can also be implemented as [26A1], referring to "[26A1]" as the yaml placeholder that becomes \u26A1
