I am using a custom select/dropdown menu per the solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10190884/1318135
This functions great, except that the 'arrow' on the right does not look very good. I would like it to be wider, similar in appearance to the up/down vote arrows on this site (look left).
Attempted the following, open to a solution using any of these or other options:
-Integrating an image into HTML (could not get it to show in foreground v. dropdown)
-Location a font with a wider arrow for the character (could not find one)
-Setting background-image property in CSS (displayed default down arrow instead)

HTML:
<label class="custom-select">
<select>
<option>Sushi</option>
<option>Blue cheese with crackers</option>
<option>Steak</option>
<option>Other</option>
</select>
</label>
CSS:
label.custom-select {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.custom-select select {
display: inline-block;
padding: 4px 3px 3px 5px;
margin: 0;
font: inherit;
outline:none; /* remove focus ring from Webkit */
line-height: 1.2;
background: #000;
color:white;
border:0;
}
/* Select arrow styling */
.custom-select:after {
content: "▼"; /* Current arrow I would like to change */
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
font-size: 60%;
line-height: 30px;
padding: 0 7px;
background: #000;
color: white;
}
.no-pointer-events .custom-select:after {
content: none;
}
