Fallback symbols

#> █   square
#> [ ] square_small
#> [█] square_small_filled
#> ( ) circle
#> (*) circle_filled

#> (o) circle_double
#> (o) circle_circle
#> (x) circle_cross
#> (|) circle_pipe
#> (?) circle_question_mark
#> *   bullet
#> .   dot
#> ─   line
#> =   double_line
#> ... ellipsis
#> >   pointer
#> i   info
#> ‼   warning
#> ≡   menu
