This comprehensive list contains over 200 unique ingame pictograms and characters that are encoded by the use of Unicode symbols. Every entry in the list provides said ingame pictogram aswell as its coresponding unicode character, it’s assigned hexcode and, if available, a keyboard shortcut.
Two further lists with generic icons (ORDINARY) and previously removed icons (REMOVED) are provided for context.
Noteworthy contributors: Forum won’t let me mention more than 2 users in a post.

Thanks for putting this list together, it’s very useful!
I haven’t been playing much naval, and the icons in the battle log aren’t always consistent, so some of these may be wrong, but here are my best ideas of what they are:
Spoiler
66 - HUD icon for fires on own/targeted enemy vessel.
115 - Kill feed icon for crashed aircraft.
152 - Kill feed icon for aerial torpedo.
159 - Possibly the kill feed icon for ramming in naval (if there is one), though I am unsure as it is incredibly rare.
160 - Kill feed icon for destruction of AI units by a vessel.
165 - HUD icon for own/targeted enemy vessel’s propeller shaft status.
211 - WW2 Dutch vehicle imported from another nation.
212 - Post-war Dutch vehicle imported from another nation.
213 - HUD icon for percentage of own/targeted enemy vessel’s crew remaining, kill feed icon for a vessel killed by eliminating all crew.
214 - Kill feed icon for a vessel destroyed by a shell room detonation.
215 - Kill feed icon for a vessel destroyed by a magazine detonation.
216 - Kill feed icon for a vessel destroyed by fire.
217 - Kill feed icon for a vessel that has been sunk due to flooding (or possibly for drowning by an ally, in which case the death is attributed to nobody).
218 - Kill feed icon, unsure what the criteria are.
219 - Kill feed icon for ship-launched torpedo.
220 - Indicator for a naval mine in the water.
I’ve got a zip of screenshots of the current codes. They restart at 256 (go figure) here is a list of ones missing from your doc using the cell they belong in and your description

Alternatives list from first 256 characters
E195 ALT 16 Chevron
Missing from your doc entirely
ALT 185 Bugle with attached Banner
I created a script that will run through whatever numbers I tell it and then take a screenshot and save the character into that folder with the name of the file being the alt code that produces the icon.
So IDK if this forum emails me but if someone wanted me to run through a set of alt codes and give them the results they could just let me know.
BTW, they only have unique symbols up to 256, after that its a repeat so I cleaned up the additional numbers.
Any working code you can add 256 to find another alt code that would work for it.
For example, alt 9 and alt 265 are going to be the same.
Heya, Table updated for “Tusk Force”!
If you have any info on what the icons do, please let me know.
Thats good to know, thanks! I removed the duplicates.
Regarding the ALT code conundrum, I think I have worked out a solution.
The character the ALT code spits out depends on the system’s active code page.
For example, ALT + 182 can give you either “¶”, “” or “╢” depending on that setting. As my system defaults to CP850, I get “” when typing ALT + 182.
To take this into account, I will add the ALT codes I couldn’t verify before (thanks again @tikityler) and add the corresponding CP if necessary.
For example, ALT + 207 only works with CP850, ALT + 182m only works with CP437, so I’ll add that info accordingly. If you find more ALT codes missing, let me know too and add what CP your system has been using at that point (use the chcp command in your cmd).
I got Active code page: 437
So yeah that makes sense. If you know how to change it, I could run the script again on different ones to get all the screenshots.
207 - probably the (no longer used) icon for the wt mobile event vehicles
211 - WW2 and prior netherlands vehicles
221 - colombian vehicles
224 - bad weather icon + senrai maidens vehicles
