Don't really like that it is green, maybe ⛔ or 🚫?

Just looking at how these are read by the screen reader in MacOS:

  • "⛔" is read as "no entry"
  • "🚫" is read as "restricted symbol"
  • "❌" is read as "cross mark"

What do you think?

Some other options:

  • "👍" for "green circle" and "👎" for "red circle" (keeping "⚠️" for "yellow circle")
  • "😁" for "green circle," "😬" for "yellow circle," and "😩" for "red circle"
