What Unicode character do you use in your website? (instead of image icons)

Question

I am looking for character which could replace image icon, for example like ✘ (xmark) and ✔ (tick), maybe some symbol to \"draft\" or \"new message\"?

EDIT:

Answer 1

I would suggest using custom font like https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome

You can also have svg/png version https://github.com/encharm/Font-Awesome-SVG-PNG

There are also other svg icons

1. https://github.com/iconic/open-iconic
2. https://github.com/outpunk/evil-icons
3. Pure css icons https://github.com/saeedalipoor/icono

For Material Design you have static svg icons https://google.github.io/material-design-icons/ and animated:
