I don't think that's possible, since the cross-reference text all has
the same character format and thus is all one font.
If you can't find a font that contains that character, one possible
workaround is to mark the destination with a hypertext newlink marker
and create the cross-reference with a hypertext gotolink marker. Then
you can format the link text any way you like.
That's odd that the symbol appears when you update manually, it doesn't for me.
