Datatype is data as type
Datatype is an OpenType variable font that turns simple text expressions into inline charts. No JavaScript, no images, no rendering library — just type the syntax and Datatype's ligature substitution does the rest.

This is an impressive use of font ligature substitutions. I wish there's an awesome list of fonts that do these kinds of things.

I love that you can select it like text (because it is), and you copy-paste the raw data in plain text.

It’s pretty neat but I think a drawback is that the data needs to be normalized. I don’t think you can put the raw data in there.

Ah, yeah, good point. It does need to be normalized between 0-100, but still pretty cool that you can do that.
