Problems with Filled Symbols and PlotMarkers

Hi,

First example:
In the following oversimplified example (WP, Version 5.2)
 
<<Graphics`MultipleListPlot`

data1= {{1,1},{2,4},{4,6}}

data2= {{1.5,3},{2.5,7},{4.5,9}}

MultipleListPlot[data1,data2,
  SymbolShape\[Rule]{MakeSymbol[RegularPolygon[3,10]],
      MakeSymbol[RegularPolygon[15,10]]}]
     
I would like  to fill the two symbols (3 and 15-side Polygons).
I have noticed that
 Filled->True in not accepted by MakeSymbol
**AND**  I cannot use the four **standard** symbols
(otherwiese, PlotSymbol[Triangle,8,Filled-True] would work very well)     
     
Second example:     
If I use Mathematica6 (ScientificLinux), to solve an equivalent problem, 
I am not able
to change the **Size** of the Special Characters;
in fact, I can insert, e.g., EmptySquare (Unicode 25A1), but the 
following line fails

ListPlot[data1,data2,PlotMarkers->{{?,Size->10},{!,Size->10}}] 

when ? is the  pasted EmptySquare, and ! is the pasted FilledSquare form 
Palettes.

Thanks for your help
