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!
