A xyz icon showing capital letters XYZ analog to abc (ABC) would be useful.

Why? What are some use cases for this?

(Most times the use cases are obvious to me, or they are given in the request. But this one I am not immediately understanding. If it were to do reverse alphabetical sorting, I would expect ZYX instead of XYZ.)

Why? What are some use cases for this?

  • referencing to a XYZ coordinate system resp. XYZ vectors
  • referencing the end of the alphabet in constrast to the start via abc icon
  • as a placeholder identifier/name
  • or with regard to the TLD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.xyz

It seems to me as if at least some of these could/would be distinct from each other:

  • I have seen icons for XYZ coordinate systems, and they usually include arrows for the axes.
  • The TLD should probably start with a leading period, and probably be lower case (.xyz).

There are both variants, with arrows and without.
It should be mentioned in this context that there is also a XYZ file format.

Totally agree! It was probably too late when I was writing this.
