I made a bullet list style in InDesign using Ariel Black font Black Square (Unicode 25A0) character as the bullet character. I exported an interactive PDF and when using the Read Out Loud feature in Acrobat, it reads "Black square" instead of "Bullet" before each bulleted line. Shouldn't it read any custom bullet character as a bullet? This seems like a serious accessibility issue.
