  The default map symbol for all rooms is ■. You can override
  it per-room with any single character and an optional color spec.
  Colors use standard xterm-256 numbering (00-FF, hex) and support
  bold, dim, and underline modifiers. Check the command
  "colortable" for all colors.

  Your per-room symbol and color override the room's builder-set
  default color on the map. When set, the symbol also appears in
  dim brackets on the room's name line when you look.
