Hi Axelm

Now Alex got the things cleared up I might have some idea.
Confusing is the word favicon....this is a small image (usually about
16x16 px) used as "shortcut icon" in the browser. Because it's named
favicon.ico it is processed this way.
Now if we talk about small images for usage instead of tags there are
some things to consider.

I can imagine a bunch of tags displayed as a cloud when in edit mode
under each tiddler. Instead of a written tag-name this might be a
icon....however when this is used, the click on the icon will put the
a name in the tag ...instead of a visible icon.
Because images are rather abstract you can only put a meaning to
it....but not the use the image inside the tags. (imagine your tag is
processed as the word photo1.jpg ...no meaningful tag for humans (tw
does not care) )

Also consider icons are limited....you can put in 10 icons and find
that you need another tag for 11. In such case it's more logic to
write a word. (creation of tag-words can be endless).
However this depends on the use-case. For readers this is not the case
I guess because they don't need to edit.
For editors...do you want to limit them to a pre-created set of icons?

The only thing I can think of is the use glyphs (html entities). Lets
say the letter A or the letter B are glyphs....then a :) is also a
glyph.
Or ➋ ❀ ✂ ✈
however these are not going to help you around the globe because of
character encoding.
For instance  ...(alt-shift-k makes an apple symbol here on the mac)
but usually is shown as a square on other clients. So it all depends
on how you are going to use it...
