To make your wordpress fast, you can style custom bullets with unicode and just css. You dont need fontawesome or other icons.
- Specify additional css class in the block additional css (eg arrow-bullet-list)
- Go to Styles > click 3 dots to open sub menu > specify additional css.
The simplest code to achieve it is using css marker. Note i have directly embedded the unicode list marker (+) replace with unicode char.
ul { list-style: none}
li::marker {
content: "+ ";
color: hotpink;
}
