I think that, when the bokeh plotting backend is active, we support the Bokeh markers AND a subset of the Maplotlib markers thanks to this mapping in holoviews https://github.com/holoviz/holoviews/blob/67201d13e226f04b614ede4131c321fed5353edb/holoviews/plotting/bokeh/styles.py#L88-L100. I don't think that mapping is documented anywhere in HoloViews, but I found out about it looking at the code, and so I documented it here but not very clearly I guess.
