That is a general statement, and well understood. However I’m asking in the context of office suits and document format, and the position in our code base.
For bullets, you should be using glyphs in the code point range Ux2600 through Ux27BF and/or Ux1F300 through Ux1F67F.
We are dealing here with imported documented, not what we are exporting. The use of PUA certainly is backwards, but that is how is it and we have to deal with it already. Again I’m asking what is the expectation in our context, not in general. Regards, Khaled
