Is using Qián (☰) going to cause problems with Chinese language UI's, or will it require browsers to download additional fonts in order to render it?

Such as:

• Page settings
• Help/about/version
• Switch to source editing

Err… this was already done by Trevor many months ago. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:VisualEditor_-_Icon_-_Menu.svg for the version on Commons, let alone the version in the repo…

No, we're not using a character, we'll use an SVG icon like the rest of the interface.
