"Run Without Screen Refresh" Icon

I think that a custom block should have a small icon next to it if it runs without screen refresh, like a variable has an icon next to it when it's a Cloud variable. Since the cloud variable's icon is a cloud, the custom block icon could be these:
-atomic symbol

define ϟ lightning symbol (credit to OmnipotentPotato for idea and symbol)

define ▶▶ skip forward symbol (credit to theonlygusti for idea and MegaApuTurkUltra for symbol)


-running person (no symbol)

This could help people if they have a lot of custom blocks and forget if a block runs with screen refresh or not.

That's a (tiny) atom symbol. I was asking if that's the symbol you were talking about.

All I see is a square, sorry.

Yeah. Not all of us have Unicode. I'm seeing a square too.

Note that I see the cloud symbol, but perhaps we could use a symbol that's more user-friendly? Or maybe a picture, like with this block:
turn ccw () degrees

Anyone?

Perhaps a fast-forward icon?

Perhaps. Or a running person or an atom… whatever the symbol for turbo mode.

Something like this. I know it's a nuclear symbol, but I couldn't find any atomic symbols.

The radioactive symbol?
