(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!

    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.
