Research direction

Start by reproducing the report with Python 3.12.4 using the marker symbols listed in the Styling markers documentation, focusing on symbols 33 through 44 and excluding the -100, -200, and -300 variants. Compare the rendered output with the screenshot; done when the affected symbols draw correctly or the unsupported symbols are clearly identified.

Description

bug P3

version: 5.24.0
python: 3.12.4

In Styling markers documentation There are 54 marker symbols.
I want to use all of them in my code and loop trough all these 54 (excluding variants -100 -200 -300).
However, some of them, specifically between 33 and 44 cant be drawn. You can see the screenshot.

Just letting you know guys. Thanks for your hard work on plotly!
