Description
In the rendered ecma262, could the early-return symbol get a tooltip (or something similar)?
I just encountered one for the first time, and (at my default font size) couldn't discern what it depicted. Hovering/clicking it did nothing, and I couldn't select it to find out what the Unicode character was. I had to increase my font size until I could tell what it was, graphically.
And I can imagine that for some readers, even knowing that the symbol depicts a bent arrow, or that it's a U+23CE Return Symbol, wouldn't necessarily clue them in that it denotes a step with an early return.
A tooltip for the "user code" symbol would probably be a good idea too.

Research direction
Start by locating the rendering code for the early-return and user-code symbols in the ecmarkup output, then inspect any existing tooltip or explanatory-label patterns. Done means both symbols expose clear explanatory text on hover or an equivalent interaction in rendered ecma262.
