Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-counter-styles] counter-style square symbol (0x25FE) is bad (#6200)

We've come at this from the other direction, trying to build list markers based on ::marker, but  without a legacy implementation. We independently came to the conclusion U+25AA was the best option - and that the existing value of U+25FE was clearly nominal, as no-one has ever used it to render "square". So we'd support this proposal.

It's also clear that an internal font is the only way to do this, and that's also the route we took. So the exact choice of glyph is fairly arbitrary - it's only ever going to be an issue if the user sticks with `square` but changes the `font-family` for the marker, which I believe isn't currently possible anywhere. So the right time to change this is now, before implementations start shipping that do make this possible.
