Comment 18 for bug 404939

This bug pre-dates the new twitter retweet mechanism. I'm sure there are other bugs referring to that. In regards to the recycle symbol, it is a unicode character and as such, doesn't work with some clients. That is why in my personal branch (based off the old 2.29 code) includes the option to change it to RT.

I'm unsure of the opinions of the gwibber developers on the subject.
