Changing collapsed bullet point font

Custom CSS & Theme Design
1

so i was wondering if the bullet that you see upon collapse is literally a • that could be changed to another font (were i to make a font where the same glyph is another symbol)

my css is rusty but i’ve been trying variations of:

ul li::marker {
     font: Ultra;
 }

 ul ul li::marker {
     font: Ultra;
}

to no avail

any help greatly appreciated!

It’s font-family. But it won’t get the job done, at least not on its own.

When you press Ctrl + Shift + I / Cmd + Opt + I to open DevTools and inspect your list, you’ll see that the bullets aren’t font characters.

To the best of my memory, which isn’t the world’s greatest memory:

  • You can hide what’s in .list-bullet::after and add your own elsewhere or even set the ul’s list-style-type.
  • Mind that list bullets are different in Reading, Live Preview, and rendered blocks in Live Preview (such as callouts).
