did you know? it is not uncommon in modern webdev to use tags to put icons in your html. technically it’s semantically correct to use <span> but do webdevs care? probably not.
the most cursed way to put icons in though, imo, is google’s material icons, which you can insert into your html with a bit of css and this:
```
<span class="material-icons orange600">face</span>
```
to put in a face. how does it work? “face” is registered as a ligature. i’m pretty sure i remember using `<i>face` in a framework somewhere too.
to be fair, this does have the benefit of being screenreadable. however, it is still Cursed As Hell.
