`▶` (U+25B6, Geometric-Shapes) renders well below the baseline in most
OS title-bar fonts (Segoe UI on Windows, Cantarell on GNOME, etc.),
while `⏸` (U+23F8, Miscellaneous-Technical) sits correctly centred.
Switching the play glyph to `⏵` (U+23F5) — the designated `⏸` pair from
the same Unicode block — keeps the two states visually aligned with
the surrounding text. In-app custom title bar already looks correct
and is left untouched.
