presentational elements in text strings

Could this practice be curtailed?

{{<a class="show-hide-new" href="#post-topic-reply">↓ New Reply</a>}}

'↓' is not good practice, it's a presentational issue and proves fiddly to remove as it's part of the subnav - it should be left to the frontend to apply this.

Those symbols are no harder than anything else in BP-Default to change. These were in the templates, not in a function in core and, as you know, can be addressed in a custom theme.
However, we've taken out the down-arrows in r4322 because they were inconsistent with the rest of BP-Default.

Sorry, my bad. Not sure why I thought they were hardcoded in core, must have been a flashback to summit else.
