Where it comes from

The official name is FOG, which collides with the English forecast word. WWIS and the Met Office still list fog and mist as separate icons. MetService describes fog, for its icons, as visibility under a kilometre. The character does not encode a distance. A station reports visibility as a number. The character is what a keyboard offers under a foggy picture.

The line drawing is original to this cabinet. It is not an agency logo, a vendor icon, or the emoji for the same idea.
