Answer 1

Been trying to implement Anjum Nawab shaikh answer on top with the icons sass sheet from icomoon.

I have been able to get it working with version 2.2.2.

In the www/fonts of the project I had added the icomoon files:

icomoon.svg
icomoon.ttf
icomoon.woff
icomoon.eot
icomoon.scss

In icomoon.scss I added the following scss:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'icomoon';
  src:  url('../fonts/icomoon.eot?tclihz');
  src:  url('../fonts/icomoon.eot?tclihz#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
    url('../fonts/icomoon.ttf?tclihz') format('truetype'),
    url('../fonts/icomoon.woff?tclihz') format('woff'),
    url('../fonts/icomoon.svg?tclihz#icomoon') format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

[class^="icon-"],
[class*=" icon-"],
[class^="ion-ios-icon"],
[class*="ion-ios-icon"],
[class^="ion-md-icon"],
[class*="ion-md-icon"]{

/* Didn't feel the need to @extend since this just adds to already existing .ion
code which I believe is replaced to just ion-icon tag selector in 
www/assets/fonts/ionicons.scss */

  font-family: "Ionicons", "icomoon" !important; //So just add this
}

//Mixin
@mixin makeIcon($arg, $val) {
  .ion-ios-#{$arg}:before ,
  .ion-ios-#{$arg}-circle:before ,
  .ion-ios-#{$arg}-circle-outline:before ,
  .ion-ios-#{$arg}-outline:before ,
  .ion-md-#{$arg}:before ,
  .ion-md-#{$arg}-circle:before ,
  .ion-md-#{$arg}-circle-outline:before ,
  .ion-md-#{$arg}-outline:before  {
    //important to overwrite ionic icons with your own icons
    content: $val !important; 
    font-size: 26px;
  }
}


//Adding Icons
@include makeIcon(email, '\e900');
...

Then I did an import to the variables.scss

@import "../www/fonts/icomoon";

Now we can add this to the html template:
