applet: Change bold up/down arrow characters to regular arrow characters

Tem PQD requested to merge tempqd/plasma-nm:change-arrow-characters into master

The current arrows U+2B07 & U+2B06 are thick versions (and also used for emoji). Change to the normal arrow characters U+2193 & U+2191 which complement the alphanumeric text better, and perhaps are more semantically correct in this context wrt how fonts expect characters to be used.

Before (Inter font) After (Inter font)
plasma-nm-arrowchange-before plasma-nm-arrowchange-after

I don't fully understand the emoji behavior -- it seems Inter's up arrow is more emoji-like? It at least doesn't match the down arrow visually.
