I wonder if we could switch to something like this:

normal

What do you think, Vadim?

Hey Tom, I used a standard Escape glyph as a hint too 😄 I like your suggestion but the implementation is not very polished, sorry 🙈

100 % agreed :–) I have noticed that the current glyph is the standard one for Escape, but my opinion is that people don’t know it, since it isn’t used much. (I think I only know it from the Force Quit system menu item.) And the glyph I’m proposing is a nice one:

Do you have some other nice Unicode glyph tips? If not, then let’s leave the current glyph in place.
