CSS needs to be simple when the eBook is simple (fiction, targeted for a single platform, one to two styles, etc) and doesn't require special handling, but when the content (like the one I have for this non-fiction book) needs to have many specific styles and display formats, targeted for multiple platforms, then the CSS needs to be this 'messy'. The assumption that you are making here is based only on the few pages of text in the sample ePub, whereas in reality the complete is a little bit over 400 individual pages with varying styles, colors, display options.
But, I'm not going to argue over a valid point, because yes, you do make a valid point. There are classes that aren't used and in the final version of the ePub, they'll be removed.

Yes, it was intentional. It was some sort of example to the author to explain the difference between zooming and increasing/decreasing the font size across multiple reading systems. But even using the 'fixed reference font size' many reading systems still allow to increase/decrease the font size.

I didn't want to depend on the use of the fonts for the symbols, that's why I used the 'HTML entity codes/symbols or Unicode characters' which are supported almost on all reading systems. Only one or two symbols aren't supported across all.
Besides that, I don't think that there's any font file that has all these Unicode characters as a font. If you know such font, I'll be glad to have it.
Reminder note, all the contents, text, symbols, everything, displaying correctly, GPB displays 'empty list markers' on each following page/screen of the content of the nested lists. If you have advice/suggestions specific to this issue then I'll gladly hear it.
Thanks for taking out time to respond to my queries.
