I'd prefer this symbol: ↩ (U+21A9)

Since screen readers might read the name of Unicode character (=leftwards arrow with hook), an aria-hidden attribute might be useful. So a slightly over-engineered example might look like this:

Code:

<a epub:type="backlink" role="doc-backlink" href="#ref1" aria-label="Back to footnote reference 1">
  <span aria-hidden="true">↩</span>
</a>

However, I don't know how well aria-hidden="true" is supported. Maybe you could test it with VoiceOver on your Mac.
