My old Mac (stuck in 10.11.6) doesn't have the POWER code (U+23FB?) in the font that Firefox uses by default or any other font, as far as I can tell).

From the Mac fonts, you could use ⏩, ⏪ and ⤴️as FF, REW and BACK as symbols that match the PLAY/PAUSE, STOP and REC that you've suggested. Are they in Windows fonts?

I don't have a good suggestion for POWER.

Oh, and why is this in the Test area?

My Windows 7 doesn't have it either, but I chose to include it anyway.

Those are the same FF and REW characters I've used (U+23E9 & U+23EA); my BACK is U+21BA (ANTICLOCKWISE OPEN CIRCLE ARROW). I see FF & REW as a bit bigger than the others.

'Cos it's just a test. :) The new inline code style prompted it.

That's weird. Those characters render differently between the Firefox display screens and the composition screen. :shock: :roll:

No power symbol on Linux boxes either. Out of hundreds of fonts on my systems, none of them appear to have it defined.
