Research direction

The payload names no file, so start by searching the repository for the ✝ (U+271D) character to find where the inaccessible-name marker is emitted in the infoview. Confirm with the maintainer that † is the wanted replacement, since the reporter asked whether it is valid and no decision is recorded. Done means the marker renders as † in the infoview and any test that checks that output is updated.

Description

Hey, really loving this plugin!

Just a problem with the infoview, being that the 'dagger' symbol used to highlight inaccessible or shadowed names seems to be the emoji 'cross' symbol (✝️) which depending on the font can spill into the next character cell, making things quite illegible at times! (pinned screenshot from my own toy reimplementation of the list theorems)

I wish it were replaced with the dagger glyph †, which seems to be the one output by the unicode conversion for \dagger. Would this be a valid change?
