In old drafts of css-ui, there was `display: icon` which fits this situation conceptually because the submenu is _displayed as_ only a triangle icon until it gets revealed fully – except that this icon stays visible then! Anyway, the important design question this raises is: Do you consider this pseudo-element to be a part of the parent (menu entry) or of the child (submenu block)? If the latter, I would say `::marker` was sufficient. If you really must introduce yet another pseudo-element for the former, a handful of relevant terms to inspire bikeshedding are: _chevron, nest, reveal, fold, expand, cascade_. Please note, that keyboard shortcuts are often shown in the same place as this indicator, although I’d say they belong in `::after`. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Crissov Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13430#issuecomment-3856043008 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
