bullet points not saving between sessions

[Dr. Mindermast]

Using Scribus 1.6.1 on Windows 11

For my current project, I found a cool glyph that I want to use as a custom bullet point.  It's not available in the font that I am using for the main text, so what I have been doing for the bullet lists is opening up Story Editor and manually changing the font for each @ (indicating the bullet points).  This works exactly how I want while I have the document open - the custom bullet points appear in the text how I want them, and the rest of the text stays in the other font like I want it to, and everything looks good.  But when I save, close the document, and open it again later on, it reverts to the default font and all the bullet points vanish.  This has happened every time since I began working on this document.  If I go through the process again, the bullets appear again, and then disappear the next time I close the document.  It's getting kind of annoying.  Is there something I should be doing differently so that Scribus will stop losing my one-character font change, or is this just a bug that will need to be patched in a future version?

scribus seems to be a bit weak on that
should have a 'bullet character' style but it just follows the paragraph style

So no fix then?  Just re-do it right before I export the finished product?

if you don't have too many of them, make a 'fake bullet style' just a tab stop, apply it to the paragraphs that need bulleted and then just place the exotic character in the bullet position, cut and paste as needed
you can make a character style for the bullet
someone else might, probably does, have a better solution
