Description

Only Safari isn't marked as partial implementation here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@counter-style/symbols#browser_compatibility

Often when almost all browsers have a similar note, it actually applies to all browsers because it's some "future" spec concept that nobody has implemented yet. I'm not sure if that's the case, but it would be good to confirm.

Source in BCD:

https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/blob/a2cdb7f00c902b295e0c26edb0d0041c49c7d02d/css/at-rules/counter-style.json#L345-L386

The task is to write a test for <image> as a value for the symbols descriptor and see if it really works in Safari. If not, add a similar note as the other browsers.

Research direction

Review the CSS counter-style symbols compatibility entry in css/at-rules/counter-style.json and the linked MDN browser-compatibility table. Test an value for the symbols descriptor in Safari. Done means confirming Safari's behavior and, if it is only partial, adding the corresponding note to the BCD entry.
