Feature Proposal

In some cases it would be great to have an icon stack chart, or pictogram/pictorial chart, where each column or row shows a SVG or unicode character (including emoji) as a repeating symbol.

Example, showing election outcomes where ever million votes is shown as a ✘ or 🗳 or a 🅯 or just a square unicode character or custom SVG. Or coin emoji for money. Being able to set the colour for symbols like the square, triangle, or diamond would be appreciated. Configuring the number of columns (or rows) in one stack is also useful.

Some infographic tools will also have a single stack option of the symbols jumbled together, differentiated only by colour or symbol. I'm not a fan of those. Especially for more than 1 or 2 types in the dataset.
