Yes, Webflow supports the usage of specific glyphs from a custom font on a website. Webflow provides a custom code feature that allows you to define the specific glyphs you want to use within your website design. Here's how you can accomplish this:

  1. Choose a custom font: First, select a custom font that supports the specific glyphs you need. You can either upload your own font file or choose from Webflow's extensive library of web fonts.

  2. Define the font-face: If you're using a custom font file, you'll need to define the font-face in the custom code section of Webflow. This ensures that the font is loaded and accessible to your website. You can add the following CSS code snippet to define the font-face:

    ```css
    @font-face {
    font-family: 'Custom Font';
    src: url('path-to-font/custom-font.woff2') format('woff2'),
    url('path-to-font/custom-font.woff') format('woff');
    }
    ```

    Replace 'Custom Font' with the actual font name and provide the correct path to the font files (custom-font.woff2 and custom-font.woff).

  3. Use the specific glyphs: Now that you have the custom font set up, you can use the specific glyphs within your website design. To do this, you'll need to insert the HTML entity or Unicode code for the glyph you want to use.

    For example, if the glyph you want to use has the Unicode code U+260E (phone symbol), you can insert it in your HTML code using the following syntax:

    ```html

    \`\`\`

    This will display the phone symbol using the custom font you've defined.

By following these steps, you can effectively utilize specific glyphs from a custom font within your Webflow website design. It allows you to add unique visual elements and enhance the overall aesthetics of your website.
