…ypeCellOS#2394) Add Unicode Variation Selector 15 (U+FE0E) to the Black Small Square character (U+25AA) used for level 3+ nested bullet lists. This forces text presentation instead of emoji presentation on iOS 18+, which otherwise renders it as a large black square emoji.

Summary
Fix nested bullet list items (level 3+) rendering as emoji squares on iOS 18+ browsers instead of small text bullet points.
Fixes #2394
Rationale
On iOS 18+, Apple changed how certain Unicode characters are rendered, defaulting some geometric symbols to emoji presentation. The Black Small Square character (
▪, U+25AA) used for deeply nested bullet lists was being rendered as a large black square emoji (⬛) instead of the intended small text bullet, making nested lists look broken on iOS Safari and Chrome.Changes

Additional Notes
This is a CSS-only fix. The Unicode Variation Selector 15 (U+FE0E) is a standard Unicode mechanism to request text presentation for characters that have both text and emoji variants. This is the recommended approach per Unicode Technical Standard #51 (Unicode Emoji).
