Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing cli::symbol entries and how cli::cli_bullets maps bullet names to symbols. Add the requested question and TODO symbols, then verify that the example calls produce the intended Unicode characters and bullet output.

Description
Is there any interest in adding new unicode bullets? Right now the ones I would like would be for questions and TODOs. Something like this:
cli::cli_bullets(c("?" = "This is a question", "[]" = "This is a TODO"))
With the symbols (in red):
cli::symbol$fancy_question_mark
#> [1] "❓"
cli::symbol$checkbox_off
#> [1] "☐"
