Comment (by karmatosed):

 @bradt I understand that point, however I do really feel that a symbol
 isn't the right route this time. As an aside, I do worry about the emotive
 aspect of a child symbol. Therefore, just the word to me makes sense or
 some way to denote that doesn't include iconography.

 I almost feel we need to strip this back. If we can avoid interference
 with the screenshot then we can also make a patch easier. What about this?

 This has a few things that I think are of benefit:

 - The 'Child' link goes to parent theme. I'm not sure we need to say it's
 name as much as reference and indicate state.
 - There should be less translation and other issues this way.
 - It's pretty low impact and therefore benefits without having to do
 anything really new.
 - Still on scanning you can see the child themes.
