Kindle Symbol font

[jcsalomon]

In the 2018.1 revision of the Kindle Publishing Guidelines, the new “list of Kindle fonts that should not be embedded in eBooks” because they “are currently available on Kindle devices and applications” includes one font I cannot find any information about online, beyond the bare fact that it exists: “Kindle Symbol”. Does anyone know anything useful about this font?

Thank you. From the way it’s used in local.conf in the Kindle Previewer (version 2), it seems it’s a sort of fall-back for certain characters. Good to have this list.

Some characters at the end of the list can also be used in user guides, because they represent icons used in the GUI. For example, U+F820 is a line spacing indicator.
