Accessibility square bullet issue
Document is set up following Accessibility guidelines, but instead of round bullets, we used square ones, colored red. All set up correctly using paragraph/character styles. When we use the read out loud voice in Acrobat, it reads "Black Square". A quick search found others with the same issue, with no work around. I should be able to define the square as a bullet, so that Acrobat would know, but even though the bullet is set up in character styles, the reader doesn't see it that way... and it gets the color wrong... though I'd rather it read simply "Bullet."

It reads black square because that is the proper unicode name for that bullet. It is encoded into the font. You can look at the Character Map to see what different symbols will be voiced as. Your solution is in the Adobe Acrobat Preflight Fixups that allow you to "Set labels in unordered lists to generic bullet character." This will add actual text to the bullet character document-wide to voice "bullet."

To add, I'm using InDesign 17.1 on a Mac OS 10.15.7
