 Since WordPress 4.2's addition of automatic front-end Emoji support, many
 UTF-8 icons used in the theme itself are replaced automatically, whether
 or not the designer had styled them specifically with a custom webfont.
 This tends to happen to glyphs that are already defined in the UTF-8
 space, but are often replaced with theme-specific assets (magnifying
 glass, "location" pushpin, etc). Attached are examples of glyphs that were
 replaced in a basic webfont.

 This doesn't apply to icons inserted using the CSS ::before/after pseudo-
 elements, only those that are part of the document.

 I'm sure there's a good reason that Emoji support is applied to the entire
 front-end rather than just the the areas that seem to need it (content,
 titles, feeds, etc.), but that would alleviate the problem.
