--------------------------+--------------------
 1. On the [https://wordpress.org/support/ HelpHub front page], these icons
 are linked without any text inside them (empty links). Either the links
 could be removed from the icons to match the
 [https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ Support Forums page], or else the
 icons can be placed inside the links with the heading instead of having
 them separate.
 2. [https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/general/G207 Accessibility
 guidelines] require a color contrast of at least 3:1 for icons against
 their background, and `#32373c` at 40% opacity is insufficient (2.2:1).
 3. The icon character can be hidden from screen readers with `aria-
 hidden`.
