Oh, dear! I'm sorry! Perhaps that page needed a bright monitor setting;
indeed, when I boosted Contrast*, indeed, I did see tha what I had presumed
were glyphs new to me were, indeed, only the highlights on
quite-commonplace
arrows. I apologize!

*Probably mis-named, in deference to familiar usage dating
from early TV receiver days

The body color of the arrows was similar to the background, iirc from
looking again, a few minutes ago.

I tend to run my monitor at conservative settings, so that if I want to
see an image properly, I'll either boost Contrast (and maybe Brightness),
or capture it and use IrfanView (great freeware) to boost its gamma.
My monitor is calibrated, as nearly as I can tell, with both C. and B.
set to max., but those settings create a white background that is much
too bright, and probably shorten the CRT life somewhat.

Making a goof this bad becouse of conservative settings is very
rare, fortunately for others.

Thanks for Qalam's collective patience!
