Crossword Genius

A symbol of integrity? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

character

I believe this is a double definition.

'a symbol' is the first definition.
(I know that character is a type of symbol)

'integrity?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for character that I've seen before include "Imaginary person in a work of fiction" , "Make-up" , "card" , "constitution" , "Nature; good reputation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
