It's still a unicode character. It depends on your available fonts what it will be rendered like. Unless a suitable font (having glyph for that character) is explicitly defined in theme, it will be system and browser dependent.

[MarkusKeck]

But what did you change from 1.0.0-alpha.13 to 1.0.0-alpha.14. The system and browser are still the same. Did you introduce a new font? Which property do I need to modify to have the old behaviour?

[brc-dd]

Try overriding the font family (--vp-font-family-base). Earlier there were no symbol fonts specified so it was falling back to whatever your browser uses. https://github.com/vuejs/vitepress/commit/8d6a20d66542e4d13cc5958bb3733928f9778027
