Adds the 'accessible' format, which replaces the "stoplight" colored circles, which may be unclear to colorblind users, with distinct icons, and replaces the up arrow, which uses a different visual language and may be described differently on screen readers, with one that stylistically matches the down arrow.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Just looking at how these are read by the screen reader in MacOS:
- "⛔" is read as "no entry"
- "🚫" is read as "restricted symbol"
- "❌" is read as "cross mark"
What do you think?
Some other options:
- "👍" for "green circle" and "👎" for "red circle" (keeping "
⚠️ " for "yellow circle") - "😁" for "green circle," "😬" for "yellow circle," and "😩" for "red circle"

The chick was read as "recently hatched chick still in shell," which is verbose; the replacement is read as 'new sign.'
