► in title tag

Hi Guys,

I noticed a link in the SERPS today with ► in the title tag of the HTML. This generates an arrow pointing to the title of the website and make this link stand out. Is this 'legal' according to SEO?

This generates an arrow pointing to the title of the website and make this link stand out. Is this 'legal' according to SEO?

Since Congress has not passed any laws relative to SEO just yet, I don't think the term legal would apply.

Last year it was stars, this year arrows. People find different ways to be creative with their titles. But, not everyone is going to see what you see. ;)
