Two points ... 1 - You are missing something. Sure since text/fonts can be be embedded in SVG it sure is right it is useful! But NOT for ICONS. It is far less an issue with normal euro-text (a-z stuff). It is an issue with other stuff often. This because the the embed will be of the specific font available. SINCE fonts vary in their representation of GLYPHS this is not really a solution if you trying to make an icon via a Unicode characters as the FONT SUBSTITUTION cascade differs between platforms. For a CONSISTENT Icon set you'd need to enforce one font for it. BUT, then you are back to the issue of KNOWING WHICH Unicode is supported in which fonts sytlistcally consistent. 2 - I think the benefit of embedding a SINGLE GLYPH in an SVG needs justifying. Why? Well if you have it available you can just use it as a normal character! So I can't really see the added value of making Icons using a singular Unicode character when you can just use the character directly. I hope this is clear.
