question why we'd use a character at all rather than an SVG graphic we
have more control over. It certainly seems overkill to use webfonts for
this unless we're using an iconfont.
If this is done, it needs to be implemented in a cross-browser way
(including very old browsers since referencing is critical). Older
browsers (e.g. even IE 8) don't support SVG img tags.
Maybe it could be a background-image (we have a fallback mixin already),
but it needs to be clickable.
It could just be a PNG img (with SVG in the source code), but I'd also
be interested in seeing whether the up arrow character has good enough
support now, before using an image.
