(Sorry, I think I might have confused the issue by giving too much background information in my initial request!)
Also, step#3 should include CSS to make the arrow *render* consistently, as well as give consistent clickable-width. (Per the problems visible in the screenshot, related to non-ClearType in WindowsXP http://i.imgur.com/HN5HIC2.png)

No no! Simple!
- Note that the default mediawiki output is:
<li id="$1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">[[#$2|↑]]</span> $3</li>
Find out where "mw-cite-backlink" is currently defined. (?)
Suggest changes to that CSS, that will work to make the arrow a
consistently wide number of clickable pixels. (What we want)
- Profit!

This aspect is already solved, as I pointed out yesterday in http://lists.wikimedia.org/__pipermail/design/2013-__November/001159.html
<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/design/2013-November/001159.html> screenreaders now say "Jump up" no matter what the character is.
There's no problem with the unicode arrow, except that it isn't reliably/consistently styled cross-browser/platform. I was really hoping you'd suggest a simple CSS fix. _________________________________________________ Design mailing list Design@lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:Design@lists.wikimedia.org> https://lists.wikimedia.org/__mailman/listinfo/design <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/design>
