Comment:

 In [changeset:"60806" 60806]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60806"
 A11y: Ensure icons are not spoken by screen readers.

 For all CSS generated icons across core, either add `aria-hidden="true"`
 to the HTML wrapper or set the generated content alternative to an empty
 string in the CSS using the  alternative text specification for CSS
 generated content.

 Props afercia, joedolson, cheffheid, jhabdas.
 Fixes #40428.
