That odd new character just showed up after a normal daily org-mode 'git
pull'.
The Symbola.ttf font worked fine.
I used this page for for instructions.
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-and-manage-fonts-on-linux
After copying the font to ~/.local/share/font/ and running the 'fc-cache
-vf' command
... The font appears after emacs + org-mode are restarted.
(I did not need to run set-fontset-font.)
Somewhere in there I also pulled fresh org-mode and emacs code and
rebuilt; am not sure if that was needed.
Here is how that screen now appears:
* Would using the ASCII '<' character be a better solution?
* Is anyone else seeing this issue and missing font?
* What would allow that Symbola font to be available?
* Is that Symbola font, or equivalent, now a true dependency? Or is
there something more common which I should be using? (Perhaps I have
missed a normal configuration step?)
Thank you!
