I like the Default (unspecified) fonts *↑* 100% bold but I partly question
why we'd use a character at all rather than an SVG graphic we have more
control over. It certainly seems overkill to use webfonts for this unless
we're using an iconfont.

Most Wikimedia sites use the mediawiki default of an

from citation-contents to the superscripted number/letter.
English Wikipedia changed the default in 2006, to use a caret ^ and a few
dozen other wikis have copied that.
We'd like to examine the problems with the Arrow, to see if they can be
fixed.
We need help browser-testing and diagnosing and fixing the problem(s).
This may have strong relevancy to the Typography Update in Beta Features.
I've tried to summarize everything so far, at

Thanks!
