  I've just done a test updgrade from CiviCRM 5.35.1 to 5.46.2 and notice some new symbols next to the version number for extension on the extension management page. I'm sure the green tick is a good thing but I can't find out what the orange symbol means.

  It means the author has listed it as alpha. It's a lab beaker, as in "experimental".
  
  The exact criteria are:
  
  * develStage in the extension's info.xml is not "stable", OR
  * version in info.xml contains one of alpha/beta/dev
  
  There is also some hover text: "This is a pre-release version. For more details, see the expanded description."
