Re: "Bunny hill" symbol, used in America for signaling ski pistes for novices

A single "black diamond" symbol would be sufficient I think (in fact a
black square rotated 45°, not the same as the symbol of card decks which
typically has borders rounded inward)

The effective color does not really matter here, it can be generated by
styling the text, something necessary anyway with the European piste colors
that don't use any specific symbol, but signs that are most frequently
circular, or sometimes shaped as squares, or "diamonds"). So for the "black
diamond" it just means that this is a symbol fully filled with the text
color (like other Unicode characters named with "BLACK".
