Symbols in forms tables

[stephenmk]

I'm planning to adjust the symbols used in the forms tables. I'd like the symbols to be simpler (less distracting) and hopefully more intuitive.

In older versions of "JMdict Extra" and Jitendex, I used abstract geometric symbols for this purpose. I think I replaced these with kanji because kanji characters all take up an identical amount of horizontal/vertical line space, whereas the geometric shapes could vary. Now that some new styling options have been implemented in Yomitan, this is no longer an issue that causes problems.

Old Symbol	New Symbol
優	△
可	◇
稀	▽
誤	！ (or maybe ＊ or ※ or ✕)
旧	(no change)
古	(no change)
