Changing a bullet point to a custom symbol: STep by step guide

Step 1: Choose Your Symbol

Begin by visiting a symbol website like Fsymbols.com to select your desired symbol. You can browse through a variety of options and simply click to copy the symbol to your clipboard. This could be anything from check marks to arrows or emojis.

Step 2: Create Bullet Points

Navigate to your Squarespace website and access the page where you want to customize bullet points. Add a text block and click on the bullet point icon to start creating your list. Input the text as needed, such as list items or key points.

Step 3: Apply Custom Symbol with CSS

Copy the provided CSS code and access your Squarespace's Custom CSS area by typing "/CSS" in your browser. Paste the CSS code into the designated area and save your changes.

li>*:first-child::before{content:""!important;color:#333}

Step 4: Insert Symbol and Customize Color

Return to your text block with bullet points. As you've applied the CSS, the default bullet points will disappear. Now, paste the symbol you copied earlier between the quotation marks or where the red box is in the photo below. You can also customize the symbol's color using hex codes or specific color names.
