Would be great if some gesture icons like swipe, rotate, pinch, etc. were added :)

I'm kinda surprised this has been an open issue for nearly 5 years. Any consideration of adding a swipe gesture icon any time soon?

Rotate should be covered by icon-repeat and icon-undo. Have examples for the rest?

I like the general idea in the accepted answer at http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/12504/symbol-for-swipe-left. The circle + arrow is common in user manuals for touch devices, and is fairly compact.

I've found the best icons for gestures (the ones that you don't have to explain with text as well for general users to understand) are these - http://www.webiconset.com/gesture-vector-icon-set/.

They are proprietary I know, but it would be pretty amazing if the community could convince these guys to add them to FontAwesome, maybe through a crowdfunded donation.

It really would be good to have a standard go-to for gestures.

Thoughts from anyone?

I agree! Font Awesome needs more icons for touch based devices :)

Something like this (with hands and symbols) could do:

How do you still not have swipe icons? It's been nearly 7 years since the original request! Something must be wrong with the way you prioritize requests.

I was also looking for a "pinch"-icon :-)

Gestures!
