Can we instead in future releases use any of

        0x21A9  8617    LEFTWARDS ARROW WITH HOOK       ↩

        0x261C  9756    WHITE LEFT POINTING INDEX       ☜

        0x21E6  8678    LEFTWARDS WHITE ARROW   ⇦

        0x21B9  8633    LEFTWARDS ARROW TO BAR OVER RIGHTWARDS ARROW TO BAR     ↹

        0x21DC  8668    LEFTWARDS SQUIGGLE ARROW        ⇜

        0x21E0  8672    LEFTWARDS DASHED ARROW  ⇠

        0x21E4  8676    LEFTWARDS ARROW TO BAR  ⇤


because -- while our intent is to communicate, within a single line, that the Problem *is* the Health Issue -- the *current* DOWNWARDS ARROW WITH TIP LEFTWARDS makes it look like there is some relationship between the line above, and the line containing the arrow.

The screenshot does not even show the worst case scenarios, where

- a Health issue has no associated active episodes (Problems) or

- the sort, which is on {active Problem or Health issue name) to be listed anywhere other than subjacent to the Problem, or
