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've used the magnifying glass icon as the body of an anchor to link to a cool interactive page for some data analysis that allowed a user to pair arbitrary data selections much like this example.

 🔎

Being a link the default underline appearance somewhat obscured the unicode glyph but that effect was negligible for our internal tool but might be suboptimal for something public facing.
