And yet those symbols aren’t relevant for markdown. The octothorp and asterisk, sure, and maybe the checkmark if we stretch its use to checklists (which may make them less clear), but they’re not different enough from other fonts to be worthy of note.

You’ve pointed out a couple times that checkmarks are not clear for checkboxes. This statement feels a bit off in the sense that it’s like saying you shouldn’t put “cookies” in a “cookie jar” or any other item inside of a container named for item - could you elaborate on why checkmarks are not intuitive when placed inside of checkboxes?
