Unfortunately, the size is constrained by the underlying font.

Initially, I searched for a character like "BLACK RIGHT POINTING 
BACKHAND INDEX" or "LINK SYMBOL", but it was even smaller. I also tried 
to change the font size but it didn't produce a good result either since 
it changes the line height.

So, feel free to change the mark to something more convenient. The 
"large black circle" (\2B24), colored in red seems fine. (I prefer the 
"BLACK LARGE CIRCLE" colored in red over the "LARGE RED CIRCLE" because 
it makes it easier to change the color)
