Need macOS up/down arrows.... (Issue #26034)
Daniel Kulp
dkulp created an issue (wxWidgets/wxWidgets#26034)Description
With the changes in 20ff462 , the use of wxART_GO_BACK and wxART_GO_FOWARD result in the use of the Mac "arrow.backword.circle" and "arrow.forward.circle". However, apps that use these in conjunction with the UP/DOWN result in very poor appearance as the UP/DOWN drop to the old versions:

I would expect the appearance to be consistent.
Simple patch:

vadz left a comment (wxWidgets/wxWidgets#26034)Thanks. I have no idea where do these symbols come from, Apple documentation says
To look up the names of system symbol images, download the SF Symbols app from Apple Design Resources.
which doesn't help much, but if you tested it and these symbols match the existing ones, let's use them.
@csomor I'll merge this soon if you don't see anything wrong with it.

csomor left a comment (wxWidgets/wxWidgets#26034)@dkulp thanks a lot, very nice :-) @vadz the best thing to lookup the available symbols is the 'SF-Symbols' app, https://developer.apple.com/sf-symbols/
