Comparing icons to box drawing characters is a non-starter. BDCs were
included at the inception of Unicode because of the very encoding
principles which were scuttled in order to encode the icons.
══════════════════════════
Any vendor is free to provide any glyph for any character regardless of
propriety. For example, a swastika could be shown whenever the star of
David is encoded. Any vendor providing a glyph which doesn't represent the
meaning of the character is doing a disservice to its users. Only a fool
would bring a squirt gun to a gun fight.
