Description

So this is low priority.
But on a screen with as few pixels as a 3ds and no way to shrink the font down, these symbols are a ton of wasted pixels that only get in the way and they really don't convey anything important. If you have this on, you know this is the fps counter.
Until recently, i just took the bottom screen console output counter, but since updating from an older version, that display is gone.

Research direction

Start by locating the rgui FPS counter for the 3DS display and inspect how its label is assembled. The change is complete when the counter remains visible without the "FPS: " prefix and still reports the frame rate correctly on the 3DS screen.
