OK, so per resolutions in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3584#issuecomment-853440806,
1. Symbolic counter styles can't be overridden
2. A counter style extending a symbolic one just extends the spec version, it doesn't inherit the special implementation-defined rendering
I guess we can infer from 2 that things like these don't magically obtain the special rendering of `circle`:
```css
@counter-style my-circle { system: cyclic; symbols: "◦"; suffix: " "; }
list-style-type: my-circle;
list-style-type: "◦ ";
list-style-type: symbols(cyclic "◦");
::marker { content: "◦ " }
```
A remaining case is `content: counter(c, circle)`. It uses the `circle` style itself, so it may be expected to use the special rendering of `list-style-style: circle`. But used in `content` means that you can mix it with other text, which seems unnecessarily tricky for implementations. So I wouldn't inherit the special rendering, just like for counter styles extending symbolic ones.
