 Characteristic function under conditionally symmetric martingale increments

Suppose $X$ is a continuous local martingale starting at zero, with conditionally symmetric increments, and terminal conditional expectations have continuous martingale versions. ThenTo prove this, set $M_t=\mathbb{E}[e^{i\theta X_T}\mid {\mathcal{F}}_t]$. Symmetry makes $e^{-2i\theta X_t}{M}_t$ a martingale, and the Itô product rule gives $d⟨M,X⟩=i\theta Md⟨X⟩$. Consequently $e^{-i\theta X_t-{\theta }^2⟨X{⟩}_t/2}{M}_t$ is a bounded local martingale, hence a martingale. Evaluating at the endpoints proves the formula. If also $X_T\sim N(0,T)$ for all $T$, the values of the bracket Laplace transform at $1$ and $2$ force $⟨X{⟩}_T=T$ almost surely. Continuity and the Lévy characterization of Brownian motion then identify $X$ as Brownian motion.
