Symbolset - symbol font using clever opentype ligature hack
Perhaps it should also include a non-ligature way of displaying icons. In current accessibility practices, when you place a description after its image you are supposed to include an empty alt attribute.So say you have social icons...  ◈ Facebook

  ◈ Twitter

You are supposed to write   Facebook

   Twitter

As to cue screen readers to not read out loud filename or the alt attribute.In this case Symbolset works as the alt property of images, so you would do something like...  Facebook Facebook

  Twitter Twitter

Which wouldn't be right.
